Drinker paradox by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Drinker Paradox is a concept in probability theory and combinatorial geometry that concerns the intersection of random sets in a geometric context. Specifically, it illustrates an interesting property of certain geometric objects and the probabilities associated with their intersections. The paradox can be described as follows: Imagine a circle (often referred to as a "drinker") and consider a number of points (often represented as "drunkards") that are uniformly and randomly distributed on the circumference of this circle.
