A point PP lies at the center of square ABCDA B C D. A sequence of points {Pn}\left\{P_{n}\right\} is determined by P0=PP_{0}=P, and given point PiP_{i}, point Pi+1P_{i+1} is obtained by reflecting PiP_{i} over one of the four lines AB,BC,CD,DAA B, B C, C D, D A, chosen uniformly at random and independently for each ii. What is the probability that P8=PP_{8}=P ?
