This problem uses half open interval notation where represents .
A real number, , is chosen in the interval .A second real number, , is chosen such that each of and contains exactly one of .Continue such that on the -th step a real number, , is chosen so that each of the intervals for contains exactly one of .
Define to be the minimal value of the sum of a tuple chosen by such a procedure. For example, obtained with .
Surprisingly, no more than points can be chosen by this procedure.
