When you shake a box filled with Mikado sticks, will you get a uniform spreading of the sticks inside the box? This question touches Bertrands paradox, a classic in mathematics. For designing nano mikado boxes for photonics purposes, scientists wanted to be able to determine the free space between the sticks.
