Hi, please consider the 2 entries in wikipedia (I am refering to the Bertrand's Paradox entry and the Bertrand Paradox entry). Are they refering to the same paradox? Or did Bertrand came up with 2 different paradoxes. I search for Bertrand's paradox on google and it appears that the paradox on probability is the more common find: that is what is the probability that a randomly picked chord of a circle will have a length greater than the side of an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle

To whom it may concern -- I'm planning to add diagrams to this article. It's pretty text-heavy at the moment, diagrams will definitely help. Thanks for your patience. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:10, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

How can case 3 have anything to do with it? It's an area argument while chords are lines -- that's a dimensionality disagreement. Also, it suggests that a random chord only intersects the middle are every fourth time -- which is not true. Is there an explanation for this, or is this paradox resolvable with proper mathematical definitions? ✏ Sverdrup 19:09, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
