Laser Puzzle (Posted on 2007-10-22) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Below is a laser puzzle.

A green laser (top row) enters a grid from above and the goal is to make the laser pass through all the targets (O) by redirecting the laser using mirrors (as in the corners of the grid) which turn the laser 90 degrees.

The laser's path may cross itself in an empty square or at a target, but the laser stops if it hits the outer wall or if it hits the backside of a mirror.

Find a solution that uses as few mirrors as possible.

Hints/Tips Finally got to try it... | Comment 2 of 9 |
I had almost forgotten what this puzzle looked like from seeing it in the queue.

Now that I have drawn it out I found a 7 mirror solution, which I won't share just yet.
