In a spacious clothing store, there is a section dedicated to changing rooms arranged in a row. Each changing room is divided by partial partitions that do not reach the ceiling and are open at the top, allowing sounds to carry over, but providing visual privacy. The partitions also do not extend all the way to the front, leaving a small gap for entry and exit. The doors of these changing rooms are curtains that can be drawn closed for additional privacy. 

In the middle of this row of changing rooms, there is a taller mirror hinged to a partition, enabling it to swing slightly outwards. This mirror is placed in such a way that it is perpendicular to the row when pushed flat against the partition, but can be tilted at an angle. 

Recently, the store introduced a new privacy policy and placed signs informing customers that for safety reasons, the mirror should always be left angled at 45 degrees away from the changing rooms when not in use.

Sayuri, Roshan, and Maite each enter three adjacent changing rooms in that order with Sayuri being closest to the mirror. Once inside, they all draw their curtains closed to try on their respective outfits. Moments later, Kofi, another customer, wishes to use the mirror. 

If Kofi adjusts the mirror back to a flat position against the partition to see their full outfit after trying on a hat, considering the height and placement of the mirror and the layout of the changing rooms, what would be the implications on the privacy of Sayuri, Roshan, and Maite?
Provide a short response.
When Kofi adjusts the mirror to be flat against the partition, it becomes perpendicular to the row of changing rooms. With the mirror in this position, the reflection of any activity within the changing rooms is limited by the angle of incidence and reflection being equal. Since the changing rooms are directly parallel to the mirror's new flat position, the reflections of Sayuri, Roshan, and Maite will not be visible in the mirror to someone standing in front of it, like Kofi, as long as the curtains of their changing rooms are properly closed. 

However, there are still privacy considerations to take into account. Given that the partitions do not reach all the way to the front of each changing room, there is a possibility that a small part of the reflection of the space inside the change rooms near the entry gaps might become visible in the mirror. This would only be the case if the curtains aren't fully drawn or if they don't cover the entirety of the entrance. 

Moreover, since sounds can travel over the partitions, Sayuri, Roshan, and Maite might hear the mirror being moved, alerting them to the potential privacy change. If any of them became aware of this, they could adjust their curtains or alert Kofi to the privacy policy to ensure he re-angles the mirror after use.

Thus, with the curtains suitably drawn, Kofi's use of the mirror positioned flat against the partition does not immediately compromise the visual privacy of Sayuri, Roshan, and Maite in their respective changing rooms. However, partial reflections might occur if the curtains do not entirely cover the entrance gap, potentially impacting their privacy to a minimal extent.
