``Re: Exciting Problem'' by YourInnerNurmo on 2008-07-07 20:36:14
PARASHAR:

Looks interesting. Can the laser pass through the infinitesimal gap at any angle?

I think it would be best to work the problem backwards. Start with the exit path, and then start considering the combinations from there.

Is there a proof of the first statement? (There are 80840...) It might be illuminating.

Anyway, just throwing some stuff in there. I'll keep you posted with any results.
