Λ<sub>2</sub> has a chunk of β (after the first β′) of size ''x'' where ''x'' = floor(''n''/μ) ≥ floor(''n''/floor(''n''/2)) = 2 or ''x'' = ceil(''n''/μ) = floor(''n''/μ) + 1. Hence Λ<sub>3</sub> has a chunk of γ of that same size. Λ<sub>3</sub> also has a chunk that crosses index ''n'', which must be of size ''y'', where
