Re: [math-fun] Random slice of a cube

I googled for five minutes and looked at half a dozen articles; I saw various models of random polytopes, but none of them appeared to be of the form "choose a random plane that intersects a polytope nontrivially and then take that intersection". I also didn't find the resilt about random polygons that Warren mentioned (the one that says that a random polygon has 4 sides on average). So if Warren or anyone else can provide more leads, I'd appreciate it! Jim Propp On Sunday, October 15, 2017, Warren D Smith <warren.wds@gmail.com> wrote:

I believe there is a known published model of "random polytopes" in which the exact expected value is 4.
