Suppose that a hider possesses a continuously divisible resource that he may distribute around a circle. The resources on a random arc in the circle are lost. The hider has a priori information on the length of the arc and he wants to maximize the probability that the retrieved portion exceeds a critical quantity, which is enough to survive on. We show that there exists an optimal resource distribution, which uses , establishing a conjecture of Kikuta and Ruckle. Our result is related to a conjecture of Samuels%26apos; on-tail probabilities.
