Consider a probability distribution on the plane where the probability that a random line passes through a convex region is proportional to its perimeter. Now say there are two equilateral triangles based on opposite sides of a unit square facing away from each other. What is the conditional probability that a random line that passes through one triangle also passes through the other triangle ?
