(I've just read the thread more carefully - I was in a rush before - and now realise that you don't want the representation answer. I guess then it depends what you are focussing on. Are you holding up the iphone in front of you and deliberately looking for reflections?)

Sarah-Jane,
Of course, I didn't mean any tricky interpretation of the question. If you wish, I can be more accurate and ask: what's the maximal number of images of an object (including the object itself) which one can see in a room whose 2 adjacent perpendicular (and straight) walls and the floor are made of mirrors?
And I understand that you like such puzzles for their own sake, but I can assure you that I wouldn't post this into a poetry forum if the situation was not perfectly illustrated by these poems.
