A right-triangulated prism made of benzene sits on a table. The hypotenuse makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the horizontal table. An incoming ray of light hits the hypotenuse horizontally, and leaves the prism from the vertical leg at an acute angle of $ \gamma $ with respect to the vertical leg. Find $\gamma$, in degrees, to the nearest integer. The index of refraction of benzene is $1.50$.

Take the number $2^{2004}$ and calculate the sum $S$ of all its digits. Then the sum of all the digits of $S$ is calculated to obtain $R$. Next, the sum of all the digits of $R$is calculated and so on until a single digit number is reached. Find it. (For example if we take $2^7=128$, we find that $S=11,R=2$. So in this case of $2^7$ the searched digit will be $2$).
