Problem
The letter M in the figure below is first reflected over the line 
and then reflected over the line 
. What is the resulting image?
![[asy] // pog diagram usepackage("newtxtext"); size(3cm); draw((-1,0)--(1,0)); draw((0,-1)--(0,1)); label("$\textbf{\textsf{M}}$",(0.25,0.6)); draw((-0.8,-0.8)--(0.8,0.8),linewidth(1.1)); label("$p$", (-1,0),NE); label("$q$", (-0.75,-0.75), N*1.5); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/3/8/c38b67d113d5fbf1b6d6eae0d87161b539dbd849.png)

Solution
When M is first reflected over the line 
we obtain the following diagram:
![[asy] /* Made by MRENTHUSIASM */ usepackage("newtxtext"); size(3cm); draw((-1,0)--(1,0)); draw((0,-1)--(0,1)); label(rotate(270)*"$\textbf{\textsf{M}}$",(0.6,0.25)); draw((-0.8,-0.8)--(0.8,0.8),linewidth(1.1)); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/0/c/40c26208a133e8893a6c0dffc050e5c046953f21.png)
When M is then reflected over the line 
we obtain the following diagram:
![[asy] /* Made by MRENTHUSIASM */ usepackage("newtxtext"); size(3cm); draw((-1,0)--(1,0)); draw((0,-1)--(0,1)); label(rotate(270)*"$\textbf{\textsf{M}}$",(0.6,-0.25)); draw((-0.8,-0.8)--(0.8,0.8),linewidth(1.1)); [/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/5/f/d5fb7ca1ab4567bbf6f1786661b033a767d9756c.png)
Therefore, the answer is 
~MRENTHUSIASM
