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:

Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in a circle $\omega$ such that $\angle A = 60^\circ$ and $\angle B = 75^\circ$ . Let the bisector of angle $A$ meet $BC$ and $\omega$ at $E$ and $D$ , respectively. Let the reflections of $A$ across $D$ and $C$ be $D'$ and $C'$ , respectively. If the tangent to $\omega$ at $A$ meets line $BC$ at $P$ , and the circumcircle of $APD'$ meets line $AC$ at $F \neq A$ , prove that the circumcircle of $C'FE$ is tangent to $BC$ at $E$ .
