- maxbond 4y agoCan confirm it would hit the corner if you waited long enough. I saw it happen twice, and a third time where it was like two or three pixels off from hitting right in the corner. I'm fairly sure (based on observation/recollection) the logo was placed randomly with a random vector, and when it contacted the wall it's vector was reflected across the normal at that point (eg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reflection_angles.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reflection_angles.sv...). I'm not sure that every configuration would reach the corner, but many would.
