Take a random $n \times n$ nonnegative symmetric matrix $D$ with zero diagonal. What is the probability that it is an *abstract distance matrix*, *i.e.* satisfies $D_{xy}+D_{yz} \geq D_{xz}$ for all index triples $x,y,z$? In other words: what is the probability that a nonnegative function on $V \times V$, where $V$ is some finite set, defines a finite metric space?
