Abstract: We will show that for any

n g e N

points on the

N

-dimensional sphere

S^{N}

there is a closed hemisphere which contains at least

l f l o o r f r a c n + N + 1 2 f l o o r

of these points. This bound is sharp and we will calculate the amount of sets which realize this value. If we change to open hemispheres things will be easier. For any

n

points on the sphere there is an open hemisphere which contains at least

l f l o o r f r a c n + 1 2 f l o o r

of these points, independent of the dimension. This bound is sharp.
