The authors study the distribution of the largest interval that is discarded in the process of randomly and recursively splitting the interval [0,1]. According to the scheme in the paper, at each stage of the process only the left-hand side interval is kept, while the right- hand side interval is discarded. For the case of the uniform distribution, a numerically approximated cumulative distribution function and the probability density function of the maximum discard are derived. Also, several moment relations for the distribution of the maximum discard are given.
