    1) How can mirrors reflect that which they don’t “see”? (If you stand next to a mirror and look down in it, you’ll see things which isn’t in its line of vision, so how does it know how to reflect it?)

    2) If you talk next to a mirror, why doesn’t any sound come from your reflection?

    3) If a male looks in a mirror to remove a white hair (in the days that it was forbidden for a male to look in a mirror) how many issurim is he oveir, 1 or 2?

    4) Why did the evil stepmother talk to the mirror?

    Even number day!

    2. Mirrors reflect light, not sound.

    4. “Mirror, mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?” pretty much explains her purpose. She wanted to know who was the fairest in the land.

    There’s no such thing as even number day!

    2. Well, why not?

    4. That’s not what she said.

    4. There are different versions of the story.

    mirrors reflect according to the angle that they are viewed from. if you look at a mirror from one side, you’ll see the reflection from the opposite side. you dont see staight ahead unless you are standing straight in front.

    SDD: The days a male is not permitted to look in a mirror are these days. At least if one considers S”A to be current and is one’s guide.

    Mirrors *do* reflect sound… just as much as any other glass surface.

    The sound they reflect is in their role as a sheet of glass, not as a mirror.
