Will stands at a point $P$ on the edge of a circular room with perfectly reflective walls. He shines two laser pointers into the room, forming angles of $n^o$ and $(n + 1)^o$ with the tangent at $P$, where $n$ is a positive integer less than $90$. The lasers reflect off of the walls, illuminating the points they hit on the walls, until they reach $P$ again. ($P$ is also illuminated at the end.)
