   Once upon a time there were two mirrors in a bathroom   
   in college a while back.   
      
   But I was thinking I could move one of the two mirrors   
   somewhat.   
      
   How many reflections of myself could I see?  I do not   
   think I tried to count at the time, I am thinking that   
   moving the mirror slightly changed the number.   
      
   It seemed an interesting puzzle but then I did something   
   else.
