There is a unit circle that starts out painted white. Every second, you choose uniformly at random an arc of arclength $1$ of the circle and paint it a new color. You use a new color each time, and new paint covers up old paint. Let $c_n$ be the expected number of colors visible after $n$ seconds. Compute $\lim_{n\to \infty} c_n$.

2021 Final Mathematical Cup, 4

Let $P$ is a regular $(2n+1)$-gon in the plane, where $n$ is a positive integer. We say that a point $S$ on one of the sides of $P$ can be seen from a point $E$ that is external to $P$ , if the line segment $\overline{ES}$ contains no other points that lie on the sides of $P$ except $S$ . We want to color the sides of $P$ in $3$ colors, such that every side is colored in exactly one color, and each color must be used at least once. Moreover, from every point in the plane external to $P$ , at most $2$ different colors on $P$ can be seen (ignore the vertices of $P$ , we consider them colorless). Find the largest positive integer $n$ for which such a coloring is possible.

A privateer discovers a merchantman $10$ miles to leeward at 11:45 a.m. and with a good breeze bears down upon her at $11$ mph, while the merchantman can only make $8$ mph in her attempt to escape.
