Modern tests and contemporary accounts agree therefore that well-made plate armour could protect against longbows, however there are a number of caveats to this point ; not all plate armour was well-made or well looked after, and there were also weak points in the eye and air holes and joints where arrows could penetrate, meaning that even if the armour was proof against nearly all arrows, being shot at by thousands of longbowmen would have been an uncomfortable experience, physically and mentally.

One can then evaluate the probability amplitude at the photon's final point ; next, one can integrate over all of these arrows ( see vector sum ), and square the length of the result to obtain the probability that this photon will reflect off of the mirror in the pertinent fashion.

Once you have marked the destination as visited ( as is the case with any visited intersection ) you have determined the shortest path to it, from the starting point, and can trace your way back, following the arrows in reverse.
