ÖMO 2010 Problem 3

    On a circular billiard table a ball rebounds from the rails as if the rail was the tangent to the circle at the point of impact. A regular hexagon with its vertices on the circle is drawn on a circular billiard table. A (point-shaped) ball is placed somewhere on the circumference of the hexagon, but not on one of its edges. Describe a periodical track of this ball with exactly four points at the rails. With how many different directions of impact can the ball be brought onto such a track?
