Very few rotations will take the strip to itself.
-  Centers: 
 - Where can the center of rotation be if
	the rotation takes the strip to itself? If the center is not in
	the middle of the strip, think about a circle through that center
	just touching one edge of the strip but not the other. What happens
	under the rotation to points near that circle?
	
 -  Angles: 
 - Suppose the center of rotation is
	on the midline y=0. What angles of rotation are possible if all
	points of the strip are to go to points on the strip? Think
	about points near a circle just touching both edges of the strip.
