You Can Approximate Pi by Dropping Needles on the Floor

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

How to find pi in randomness all around you

What you’ll get is a pretty good estimate of the irrational number pi (3.14159...). To celebrate Pi Day this year, here are three ways to estimate pi using random chance that you can try out at ...
