Mosh3-
Here’s one for you-
Let’s say you have a table with equal distant parallel lines running the length of the table.
You randomly drop a pencil onto the table.
What are the chances of the pencil hitting a line?
Extra Credit- If the length of the pencil is shorter than the distance between two consecutive lines- what famous constant will you estimate?
(No asking Squeak or I can only try.)
