Understand the scale
Scale 0.5: Easiest math competition problems, often solvable even for early middle school students without experience. 1: Problems strictly for beginners, often at a moderate middle school level. 1.5: Problems for stronger beginner students, on the level of the middling problems in most middle school contests. 2: For motivated beginners, harder questions from the previous categories. 2.5: More advanced beginner problems, hardest questions from previous categories. 3: Early intermediate problems that require more creative thinking. 3.5: Tougher early intermediate problems that consistently stretch into higher-level creative thinking or conceptual knowledge. 4: Intermediate-level problems. 4.5: Upper intermediate problems approaching the upper bound for non-invitational sprint math competitions. 5: More difficult AIME problems or simple proof-based Olympiad-style problems. 6: High-level AIME-styled questions or introductory Olympiad-level questions. 7: Tougher Olympiad-level questions, may require more technical knowledge. 8: High-level Olympiad-level questions. 9: Expert Olympiad-level questions. 9.5: The hardest problems appearing on Olympiads which the strongest students could reasonably solve. 10: Historically notorious problems, generally unsuitable for even very hard competitions because they are exceedingly tedious, long, and difficult.

Problem

Problem:

ABCABC is a right triangle with ∠A=30∘\angle A = 30^{\circ} and circumcircle OO. Circles ω1\omega_1, ω2\omega_2, and ω3\omega_3 lie outside ABCABC and are tangent to OO at T1T_1, T2T_2, and T3T_3 respectively and to ABAB, BCBC, and CACA at S1S_1, S2S_2, and S3S_3, respectively. Lines T1S1T_1 S_1, T2S2T_2 S_2, and T3S3T_3 S_3 intersect OO again at A′A', B′B', and C′C', respectively. What is the ratio of the area of A′B′C′A'B'C' to the area of ABCABC?
