Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to find the exact norm of the Rademacher projection onto $\{r_1,r_2,r_3\}.$ Namely, we prove

$\displaystyle \Vert R_3\Vert_p=\frac{(3^{p/q}+1)^{1/p}(3^{q/p}+1)^{1/q}}{4}.$

The same techniques also give the relative projection constant of $\ker\{1,...,1\}$ in $\ell_p^n,$ that is,

$\displaystyle \lambda(\ker\{1,...,1\},\ell_p^n)=\frac{((n-1)^{p/q}+1)^{1/p}((n-1)^{q/p}+1)^{1/q}}{n},$

for

. We discuss the relation of the above inequalities to the famous Khintchine and Clarkson inequalities. We conclude the paper by stating some conjectures that involve the geometry of the unit ball of $\ell_p^n.$
