Problem

Quadrilateral $ABCD$ is inscribed in circle $O$ and has side lengths $AB=3, BC=2, CD=6$ , and $DA=8$ . Let $X$ and $Y$ be points on $\overline{BD}$ such that $\frac{DX}{BD} = \frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{BY}{BD} = \frac{11}{36}$ . Let $E$ be the intersection of line $AX$ and the line through $Y$ parallel to $\overline{AD}$ . Let $F$ be the intersection of line $CX$ and the line through $E$ parallel to $\overline{AC}$ . Let $G$ be the point on circle $O$ other than $C$ that lies on line $CX$ . What is $XF\cdot XG$ ?
