Let $ABCD$ be a convex cyclic quadrilateral with circumcircle $\omega$. Let $BA$ produced beyond $A$ meet $CD$ produced beyond $D$, at $L$. Let $\ell$ be a line through $L$ meeting $AD$ and $BC$ at $M$ and $N$ respectively, so that $M,D$ (respectively $N,C$) are on opposite sides of $A$ (resp. $B$). Suppose $K$ and $J$ are points on the arc $AB$ of $\omega$ not containing $C,D$ so that $MK, NJ$ are tangent to $\omega$. Prove that $K,J,L$ are collinear. Proposed by Rijul Saini
