Throwing Darts at a Spinning Sphere?


Michael George who passed on the homicidal necrophobe problem sent me another good one.

There's a game in which darts are thrown from various angles into a spinning sphere (in other words, they land randomly). Three darts are thrown. If you get them all in the same hemisphere, you win. What's the probability of winning?
