For coverage of antipodal points by a randomly oriented sector, the house bearings differ by . For , no single sector can cover both. For , the two allowable arcs of centre bearings overlap in two components, each of length . Thus the conditional probability of a double hit is , not . Averaging against the probability density function givesPut to obtain . Therefore
