problem

Four points, A,B,CA, B, C, and DD, are chosen randomly on the circumference of a circle with independent uniform probability. What is the expected number of sides of triangle ABCA B C for which the projection of DD onto the line containing the side lies between the two vertices?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Four points, A,B,C, and D, are chosen randomly on the circumference of a circle with independent uniform probability. What is the expected number of sides of triangle ABC for which the projection of D onto the line containing the side lies between the two vertices?
Original LaTeX notation
Four points, $A, B, C$, and $D$, are chosen randomly on the circumference of a circle with independent uniform probability. What is the expected number of sides of triangle $A B C$ for which the projection of $D$ onto the line containing the side lies between the two vertices?
