Question 116

In the $x$-$y$ plane, draw a circle of radius $2$ centered at $(0,0)$. Color the circle red above the line $y=1$, color the circle blue below the line $y=-1$, and color the rest of the circle white. Now consider an arbitrary straight line at distance $1$ from the circle. We color each point $P$ of the line with the color of the closest point to $P$ on the circle. If we pick such an arbitrary line, randomly oriented, what is the probability that it contains red, white, and blue points?
