Find the best ratio between grid size and the square size

Let's say I have a bunch of squares of side x and the grid of square sectors, each of side y. I am placing the squares randomly in this grid - the sides of squares are parallel to sides of the grid, ...

Geometric Probability problem in 3 unknowns

I've been solving different geometrical probability questions, and there is one, where I'm somewhat stuck. Suppose we have to choose $3$ numbers, $a,b$ and $c$ such that $a,b,c \in [0,1]$. The numbers ...

PDF of a geometrical distance

System model Suppose B is a randomly scattered point in the segment [OM] as shown in Fig. System Model. The PDF of x (i.e., the distance between O and B) is known as $f_{X}$, and all the other points ...

Choosing 2 points on a line

Two points are selected randomly on a line of length $L$ so as to be on opposite sides of the midpoint of the line. Find the probability that the distance between them is greater than $L/3$. I was ...

Find probability that a line l may be tangent to circle $x^2+y^2=n^2\left(1-(1-\frac{1}{\sqrt n})^2\right)$

Consider the set $A_{n}$ of points $(x,y)$ where $0\leq x\leq n,0\leq y\leq n$ where $x,y,n$ are integers. Let $S_{n}$ be the set of all lines passing through at least two distinct points of $A_{n}$. ...

How does point A calculate position of a moving point B when only "direction" of point B is known?

I am currently designing a game. I have a "runner" and a "catcher" that sort of play tag with each other. The catcher always know in which direction the runner is, but he does not know where exactly ...

How many squares can be made from points on $ z(t) = e^{2\pi i\, t} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} e^{2\pi i\, 3t} $?

Inspire by the Toeplitz Square Problem, how many squares can be drawn on the curve: $$ z(t) = e^{2\pi i\, t} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} e^{2\pi i\, 3t} $$ wth $t \in [0, 2\pi]$. Here is an image: We're up ...
