Abstract. We consider N + 2 points mutually independently distributed on a sphere of N-dimension. We calculate the probability of a configuration of the N + 2 points on the sphere. The probability is (1/2)N+1 which does not depend on the particular choice of the underlying distribution as long as it is central symmetric.
