Geometry Problem 1494 with Solution: Parallelogram, Midpoints, Octagon, Areas

The figure below shows a parallelogram ABCD with midpoints M, N, P, and Q of its sides AB, BC, CD, and AD respectively. The lines AN, AP, BP, BQ, CM, CQ, DM, and DN intersect to form an octagon EFGHIJKL with area S1. You are required to prove that \({S_1} = {7 \over 25}{S}\), where S is the area of parallelogram ABCD.
