Hints Prism Refraction: 5 shots, prism=triangle, wall=ellipse, n=1.635
Hint Prism Refraction Cipher (diff 4). Wall: ellipse, prism: triangle at (1.04,-1.60), n=1.635. 5 laser shots, one per character. Trace each laser through the prism using Snell's law. The exit ray hits the wall at a character. Read them in order. Submit the 5-character word.
