For i=0,1,…,5i=0,1, \ldots, 5 let lil_{i} be the ray on the Cartesian plane starting at the origin, an angle θ=iπ3\theta=i \frac{\pi}{3} counterclockwise from the positive xx-axis. For each ii, point PiP_{i} is chosen uniformly at random from the intersection of lil_{i} with the unit disk. Consider the convex hull of the points PiP_{i}, which will (with probability 1) be a convex polygon with nn vertices for some nn. What is the expected value of nn ?
