    This document summarizes Shaun Alba's work on a math problem involving locating points on a curved number line. Shaun found the problem intriguing as it involved new concepts like arithmetic versions of reflections. While unfamiliar concepts made it challenging, drawing diagrams and staying organized helped. The problem required thinking beyond a standard straight line and considering how arithmetic expressions and isometries would change on a curved line.
