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]

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.
