Abstract
Three points uniformly selected on the unit circle form a triangle containing a point at distance from its center with probability , where is the dilogarithm function (Jeremy Tan Jie Rui, 2018). In this paper we present an alternative proof of this fact. We also discuss a couple of other geometric probability problems where the dilogarithm function arises.
