I find that so interesting, as if these positions are an intrinsic mathematical property of the room. I wonder if there's a classification of rooms this way. What do rooms that have the same number of dark points have in common?

This theorem also has implications in the limits of using sound and light for surveillance. The government could ban homes with irrational angles in order to guarantee there are no dark spots for any kind of radiation surveillance.
