Given a square system of complex homogenous polynomial equations , f , and a root x we define the basin of f as follows. Pick z at random in projective space and subtract s f(z) from f (homoginized). If the zero of "f-sf(z)" for s between 1 and zero starting at z continues to x we say 
z is in the basin of x. Are the volumes of the basins all equal? This would be kind of amazing from my perspective and useful. There is evidence both ways. I will discuss what I and coworkers  Carlos Beltran and Diego Armentano know about the problem.
