More specifically, I conjecture that a drop of water falling at random is almost certain to fall within a cup. If this conjecture is correct, the cups' surfaces are a wild extrapolate of the terraced fields in southeast Asia. I call them Devil's terraces. The points which fail to fall within cups form the cups' cumulative coastline, and add up to a ramified net, a random form of the Sierpinski gasket. If I am wrong and the cups' cumulative coastline is in fact of positive rather than zero area, my fallback conjecture is that there is a cup arbitrarily close to every point that does not lie in a cup.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - devil%27s%20terrace
