Textbook Question

Chapter 7.2, Problem 12MS

Quacker, Quacker, Quacker. Suppose you had the job of shooting the photograph for the next Quacked Wheat box, and the picture was to be one of you holding a Quacked Wheat box. Of course, the picture on the Quacked Wheat box you are holding should be of you holding a Quacked Wheat box, and so on. Suppose you have a camera but no mirror; however, you do have a photocopier that can reduce images to any size. How can you create the picture for the box?
