For an isosceles triangle $ABC$ where $AB=AC$, it is possible to construct, using only compass and straightedge, an isosceles triangle $PQR$ where $PQ=PR$ such that triangle $PQR$ is similar to triangle $ABC$, point $P$ is in the interior of line segment $AC$, point $Q$ is in the interior of line segment $AB$, and point $R$ is in the interior of line segment $BC$. Describe one method of performing such a construction. Your method should work on every isosceles triangle $ABC$, except that you may choose an upper limit or lower limit on the size of angle $BAC$.

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]
