Moon proved that the expected number of crossings in a spherical drawing in which the points are randomly distributed and joined by geodesics is precisely  𝑛4/64+𝑂(𝑛3) , thus matching asymptotically the conjectured value of  cr(𝐾𝑛) . Let  cr𝑃(𝐺)  denote the crossing number of a graph  𝐺  in the projective plane. Recently, Elkies proved that the expected number of crossings in a naturally defined random projective plane drawing of  𝐾𝑛  is  (𝑛4/8𝜋2)+𝑂(𝑛3) . In analogy with the relation of Moon's result to Hill's conjecture, Elkies asked if  lim𝑛→∞ cr𝑃(𝐾𝑛)/𝑛4=1/8𝜋2 . We construct drawings of  𝐾𝑛  in the projective plane that disprove this."}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0003-2401-8670","full_name":"Arroyo Guevara, Alan M","last_name":"Arroyo Guevara","first_name":"Alan M","id":"3207FDC6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Dan","full_name":"Mcquillan, Dan","last_name":"Mcquillan"},{"last_name":"Richter","full_name":"Richter, R.
