Anyone has an answer for this? I did the math and I think the answer is 1/3, but I'm not sure and would like validation.

    This question is the special case of $N=2$ in the duplicate. It's also a limiting case of the question answered at https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/52909 where one side of the rectangle approaches zero and the other has unit length. – whuber Nov 23 '21 at 21:39
  • Ohh, how dumb of me, I hadn't thought about simulating it to verify my answer... It is 1/3, nice! – Johan Dingler Nov 24 '21 at 22:12

    If you have the skills to create simple simulations, they open up a wonderful resource for checking your solutions to probability questions. I use simulations all the time to check that I haven't made some huge error in any analyses I post here ;-). Sometimes, just thinking about how to simulate a situation leads to an analytical solution, too. – whuber Nov 24 '21 at 22:14
