    1. Per the results of previous problems we have AJD and ENG are equilateral triangles
    Quadrilateral AKMC is cyclic => ∠ (KMA)= ∠ (KCA)= 60
    Quadrilateral AMJD is cyclic => ∠ (JMD)= ∠ (JAD)= 60
    ∠ (KMJ)= 60+60+60= 180 => K,M, J are collinear
    Quadrilateral BMLD is cyclic => ∠ (LMD)= ∠ (LBD)= 60
    Since ∠ (LBD)= ∠ (JMD)= 60 => M, J, L are collinear and K, M, J, L are collinear
    2. Triangle DLJ congruent to DBA ( case SAS) => JL= AB
    Triangle AKJ congruent to ACD ( case SAS) => KJ=CD
    Since AB= CD => J is the midpoint of KL
    3. Since NE //PM and NG // MD => triangle PMQ similar to ENG ( case AA) => PMQ is equilateral
    And ∠ (JMQ)= ∠ (MQP)= 60 so EG//KL
