It's really quite simple: A perfect reflective cone standing on a checkered
floor, viewed from above.

Proof:

#include "colors.inc"
camera  {
orthographic
  location  <0.0, 10.0, 0.0>
  up <0, 0, 2.1>
  right <2.1, 0, 0>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
cone {
  3*y, 0.0,
  0*y, 1.0
   finish {
      reflection 1
   }
}
plane { <0, 1, 0>, 0
   pigment {
      checker White, Black
   }
   finish {ambient 1}
}

Bye,
Wolfgang
