A polygon is called concave if it has at least one angle strictly greater than $180^{\circ}$. What is the maximum number of symmetries that an 11-sided concave polygon can have? (A [i]symmetry[/i] of a polygon is a way to rotate or reflect the plane that leaves the polygon unchanged.)

A ray of light originates from point $A$ and and travels in a plane, being reflected $n$ times between lines $AD$ and $CD$, before striking a point $B$ (which may be on $AD$ or $CD$) perpendicularly and retracing its path to $A$. (At each point of reflection the light makes two equal angles as indicated in the adjoining figure. The figure shows the light path for $n = 3.$) If $\measuredangle CDA = 8^\circ$, what is the largest value $n$ can have?
