Lazy solving!

Geometry Level 4

If none of α , β , γ , \alpha, \beta, \gamma, and δ \delta are equal to each other,then tan ( γ δ ) tan ( α β ) + tan ( δ β ) tan ( α γ ) + tan ( β γ ) tan ( α δ ) + tan ( γ δ ) tan ( δ β ) ( tan ( β γ ) tan ( α β ) tan ( α γ ) ( tan ( α δ ) = ? \dfrac{\tan(\gamma-\delta)}{\tan(\alpha-\beta)}+\dfrac{\tan(\delta-\beta)}{\tan(\alpha-\gamma)}+\dfrac{\tan(\beta-\gamma)}{\tan(\alpha-\delta)}+\dfrac{\tan(\gamma-\delta)\tan(\delta-\beta)(\tan(\beta-\gamma)}{\tan(\alpha-\beta)\tan(\alpha-\gamma)(\tan(\alpha-\delta)}\quad=\quad?

Answer is independent of α , β , γ , δ \alpha, \beta, \gamma , \delta .
So, for quick solving, substitute α = 90 , β = 45 , γ = 45 , δ = 45 \alpha = 90 , \beta = 45 , \gamma = 45 , \delta = 45

Can you provide any approach to prove that the answer is independent of variables (other than bashing) ?
