Suppose that we choose n diameters in a sphere. Each diameter intersects the sphere's surface at points, defining two hemispheres (one centered at each point.)
Now, a research paper I found (linked here: https://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath327/kmath327.htm) says:
"By choosing n diameters, we partition the surface into a certain number of subsets. Each of these subsets lies entirely inside or entirely outside the hemisphere centered on each of the n points."
I'm assuming that "subsets" refers to regions on the surface of the sphere...
But how does choosing n diameters partition the sphere into subsets? Can someone please describe this process intuitively?
Thank you so much!
