This problem is pretty difficult to solve. I've only been able to obtain a solution for the case where there are infinity leg bones in the pit.Imagine that a creature from outer space walks you before a pit. In the pit are 10,000 leg bones. The creature tells you, "I have cracked each bone at random into two pieces by throwing them against a rock. What's the average ratio of the length of the long piece to the length of the short piece?
I'm now attempting a simulation to obtain the answer. If you are able to solve this problem, please leave the solution in the comments.
