There is a circle $k$ in a plane with center $M$ and radius $r$. The following illustration, through which every point $P \ne M$., is called a “reflection on the circle $k$” from $\varepsilon$ a point $P'$ from $\varepsilon$ is assigned:
(1) $P'$ lies on the ray emanating from$ M$ and passing through $P$.
(2) It is $MP \cdot MP' = r^2$.
a) Construct the mirror point $ P'$ for any given point $P \ne M$ inside $k$.
b) Let another circle $k_1$ be given arbitrarily, but such that $M$ lies outside $k_1$.Construct $k'_1$ , i.e. the set of all mirror points $P'$ of the points $P$ of $k_1$.

A $3\times3$ square is partitioned into $9$ unit squares. Each unit square is painted either white or black with each color being equally likely, chosen independently and at random. The square is the rotated $90^\circ$ clockwise about its center, and every white square in a position formerly occupied by a black square is painted black. The colors of all other squares are left unchanged. What is the probability that the grid is now entirely black?
