Aug 13, 2014 at 18:35 comment added Ori Gurel-Gurevich Regarding the question in the edit: I interpreted it as asking for how many of the regions contain the origin. In that case, it tends to Poisson(1) regardless of the shapes.

Aug 13, 2014 at 15:00 comment added j.c. You might find this paper interesting, though it's about percolation properties of a disk packing in the plane, rather than what you've specifically asked about: arxiv.org/abs/1104.0762

Aug 4, 2014 at 15:38 comment added JGH @NateEldredge Independent motions. Are you saying the answer depends on the shapes of the regions?
Aug 4, 2014 at 13:19 comment added Nate Eldredge As the answers point out, this question is incompletely posed, since you have not stated whether there is to be any dependence between these Brownian motions. (As pointed out by Robert Israel, if you want them all to be independent, you have measurability problems.) For the question in your edit, do you mean that each region should be translated according to an independent Brownian motion? I don't see how you can get a concrete answer without specifying the shapes of the regions.
Aug 4, 2014 at 3:42 comment added Douglas Zare If the regions are anything like a square grid, then the distribution of the count approaches a Poisson distribution.
