Pairwise distinct points $P_1,P_2,\ldots, P_{16}$ lie on the perimeter of a square with side length $4$ centered at $O$ such that $\lvert P_iP_{i+1} \rvert = 1$ for $i=1,2,\ldots, 16$. (We take $P_{17}$ to be the point $P_1$.) We construct points $Q_1,Q_2,\ldots,Q_{16}$ as follows: for each $i$, a fair coin is flipped. If it lands heads, we define $Q_i$ to be $P_i$; otherwise, we define $Q_i$ to be the reflection of $P_i$ over $O$. (So, it is possible for some of the $Q_i$ to coincide.) Let $D$ be the length of the vector $\overrightarrow{OQ_1} + \overrightarrow{OQ_2} + \cdots + \overrightarrow{OQ_{16}}$. Compute the expected value of $D^2$. [i]Ray Li[/i]

Let squares be constructed on the sides $BC,CA,AB$ of a triangle $ABC$, all to the outside of the triangle, and let $A_1,B_1, C_1$ be their centers. Starting from the triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ one analogously obtains a triangle $A_2B_2C_2$. If $S, S_1, S_2$ denote the areas of triangles$ ABC,A_1B_1C_1,A_2B_2C_2$, respectively, prove that $S = 8S_1 - 4S_2.$

A beam of light strikes $\overline{BC}$ at point $C$ with angle of incidence $\alpha=19.94^\circ$ and reflects with an equal angle of reflection as shown. The light beam continues its path, reflecting off line segments $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{BC}$ according to the rule: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection. Given that $\beta=\alpha/10=1.994^\circ$ and $AB=AC,$ determine the number of times the light beam will bounce off the two line segments. Include the first reflection at $C$ in your count.

Given two (identical) polygonal domains in the Euclidean plane, it is not possible in general to superpose the two using only translations and rotations. Prove that this can however be achieved by splitting one of the domains into a finite number of polygonal subdomains which then fit together, via translations and rotations in the plane, to recover the other domain.
