[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00034.] Let \(m\), \(n\) be natural numbers with \(m\geq n+3\). Suppose \({\mathcal A}=\{A_ 1,\dots,A_ m\}\) is a family of super convex closed sets in the \(n\)- dimensional sphere \(S^ n\) with the properties: i) \(\cap{\mathcal A}\) is empty, ii) \(\cap{\mathcal B}\) is nonempty for each subfamily \({\mathcal B}=\{B_ 1,\dots,B_{n+1}\}\) of \(\mathcal A\). Then, for each \(k\) with \(m-1\geq k\geq n+2\), the maximal number of subfamilies \({\mathcal P}=\{P_ 1,\dots,P_ k\}\) of \(\mathcal A\) with an empty intersection equals \(C^{k-n-1}_{m-n- 1}\). This result completes the one due to \textit{M. J. C. Baker} [Pac. J. Math. 23, 1-3 (1967; Zbl 0161.416)].
