Let $ \Psi\equal{}\langle A;...\rangle$ be an arbitrary, countable algebraic structure (that is, $ \Psi$ can have an arbitrary number of finitary operations and relations). Prove that $ \Psi$ has as many as continuum automorphisms if and only if for any finite subset $ A'$ of $ A$ there is an automorphism $ \pi_{A'}$ of $ \Psi$ different from the identity automorphism and such that \[ (x) \pi_{A'}\equal{}x\] for every $ x \in A'$.

A version of billiards is played on a right triangular table, with a pocket in each of the three corners, and one of the acute angles being $30^o$. A ball is played from just in front of the pocket at the $30^o$. vertex toward the midpoint of the opposite side. Prove that if the ball is played hard enough, it will land in the pocket of the $60^o$ vertex after $8$ reflections.
