PL-OM 1987 Problem 2

    A regular nn -gon is inscribed in a circle radius 11 . Let XX be the set of all arcs PQPQ , where P,QP, Q are distinct vertices of the nn -gon. 55 elements L1,L2,...,L5L_1, L_2, ... , L_5 of XX are chosen at random (so two or more of the LiL_i can be the same). Show that the expected length of L1∩L2∩L3∩L4∩L5L_1 \cap L_2 \cap L_3 \cap L_4 \cap L_5 is independent of nn .
