Extract
For a time in the mid-1970s probabilists were tantalized by a seemingly simple problem posed by Araki and Kakutani[3]. An interval is repeatedly divided by points chosen successively at random, the nth point being uniformly distributed over the largest of the n intervals formed by the first n − 1 points. Is this sequence of points asymptotically uniformly distributed?
