Consider the random directed graph Gn whose vertices X1, …, Xn are independent uniformly distributed over [0, 1]2. For 1 ≤ i < jn, the orientation of the edge XiXj is selected at random, independently for each edge and independently of the Xi's. Denote by Un the length of the shortest path through Gn. Then for some constant β > 0 and all ε > 0 we have ∑n≥1P(|n−1/2Un − β| > ε) < ∞.
