Default Points on a circle Part two .

There are n>=4 points on the circumference of the circle which form a convex n-gon . What is the probability that at least one of the vertex angles of this polygon are acute ?

Apparently there is a very elegant solution to this problem which I haven't quite figured out yet although I'm aware of a more rigorous solution which i'm not very fond of .

Good luck !
