We are given $n$ mass points of equal mass in space. We define a sequence of points $O_1,O_2,O_3,\ldots $ as follows: $O_1$ is an arbitrary point (within the unit distance of at least one of the $n$ points); $O_2$ is the centre of gravity of all the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_1$;$O_3$ is the centre of gravity of all of the $n$ given points that are inside the unit sphere centred at $O_2$; etc. Prove that starting from some $m$, all points $O_m,O_{m+1},O_{m+2},\ldots$ coincide.

In $\triangle ABC$, the interior sides of which are mirrors, a laser is placed at point $A_1$ on side $BC$. A laser beam exits the point $A_1$, hits side $AC$ at point $B_1$, and then reflects off the side. (Because this is a laser beam, every time it hits a side, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection). It then hits side $AB$ at point $C_1$, then side $BC$ at point $A_2$, then side $AC$ again at point $B_2$, then side $AB$ again at point $C_2$, then side $BC$ again at point $A_3$, and finally, side $AC$ again at point $B_3$. (a) Prove that $\angle B_3A_3C = \angle B_1A_1C$. (b) Prove that such a laser exists if and only if all the angles in $\triangle ABC$ are less than $90^{\circ}$.
