You can estimate pi by throwing sticks
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Buffon's Needle is a bizarre geometric probability trick. If you drop a bunch of identically sized straight sticks onto a floor made of parallel parallel planks, the probability of a stick crossing a seam is directly tied to Pi. You can mathematically calculate the digits of Pi purely by blindly throwing enough sticks on the ground and counting the overlapping intersections.
One discovery leads to another.
