Question 175

There is a unit circle that starts out painted white. Every second, you choose uniformly at random an arc of arclength $1$ of the circle and paint it a new color. You use a new color each time, and new paint covers up old paint. Let $c_{n}$ be the expected number of colors visible after $n$ seconds. Compute $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} c_{n}$.
