We are given an acute triangle $ABC$. Let $(w,I)$ be the inscribed circle of $ABC$, $(\Omega,O)$ be the circumscribed circle of $ABC$, and $A_0$ be the midpoint of altitude $AH$. $w$ touches $BC$ at point $D$. $A_0 D$ and $w$ intersect at point $P$, and the perpendicular from $I$ to $A_0 D$ intersects $BC$ at the point $M$. $MR$ and $MS$ lines touch $\Omega$ at $R$ and $S$ respectively [note: I am not entirely sure of what is meant by this, but I am pretty sure it means draw the tangents to $\Omega$ from $M$]. Prove that the points $R,P,D,S$ are concyclic. (proposed by E. Enkzaya, inspired by Vietnamese olympiad problem)
