    Let S denote the set of subgroups of the finite group G. A natural measure of `Hamiltonianess' for G is given by the ratio \[ \mu (G)=| \{(g,H)| \quad g\in G,\quad H\in S\quad and\quad gHg^{-1}=H\}| /| G| \cdot | S|. \] Theorem. For each \(r\in [0,1]\) there exists a sequence of groups \(\{G_ n\}\) such that \(\lim_{n\to \infty} \mu (G_ n)=r\). This theorem holds for other measures of `Hamiltonianess'.
