In a gravity free cubical box, a  ball bounces elastically. If it be  projected from origin O towards  A(4, 13, 16), a point on the roof  plane then find the second and  third bounce points B, C .  The edge length of the cube is  16 units.

Related question: which point(s) A  on the roof plane can be selected  such that C=O?

I think no such a point A exists  so that C=O.

(8+4(√2) , 8+4(√2) , 16) .  Is it ?  But anyway point B will be on  the vertical edge: x=16, y=16  God knows if it will reach O !
