  1. Points A ,O1 and O2 are collinear
    Lets line joining A,O1 and O2 intersects BD at E and BC at F.
    Lets assume angle AO2D = x
    And angle AO1C = y
    We can see that Angle BEF = 90 - x
    And Angle BFE = y - 90
    And we get Angle EBF = Angle DBC = 180 - (y-x)
    Also Angle O1AC = 90 - y/2
    Angle O1AD = 90 + (x/2)
    We get angle DAC = 180 - [(y-x)/2]
    Since O3 is circumcentre of triangle ACD
    Angle DO3C = y - x
    It means quad. BCO3D is cyclic and O3 lies on circle O4.
