Question:

Let us assume an idealised ball (which has a radius of 0, doesn't lose any energy due to friction or air resistance or any other means) bouncing on a 396x224 unit board with an angle of 45°. How many "bounces" across the four walls of said board will it take, until thr ball ends up at the original position and direction? And what would a general solution for this question look like for a board of size W x H, where both W and H are non-null natural numbers?
