Abstract: Consider a $d$-dimensional simplex whose vertices are random points chosen independently according to the standard Gaussian distribution on $\mathbb R^d$. We prove that the expected angle sum of this random simplex equals the angle sum of the regular simplex of the same dimension $d$.

Key words and phrases: convex hull, Gaussian simplex, regular simplex, solid angle, random polytope, convex cone.
