This is the first problem I have done from an IMO Shortlist. It was the easiest geometry problem on the 2010 IMO Shortlist, and I hope to do more such problems. See the link below, hope you all enjoy!

My motivation for constructing G was to reflect Q over AB, due to <AQB=<ACB and both meeting at AB, so they have the same size circumcircle, followed by the reflection forcing the 2 circles together. Then I noticed that it seemed to lie on EF and taking a leap of faith, I did a phantom point sort of thing where it ended to exactly your construction of G, namely EF meeting the circumcircle, followed by angle chasing leading to congruency.

An alternate way to show the perpendicular lines is <AEF+<OAE=90 which is trivial

can you please explain how to get AF is angle bisector of QFE?
