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.)
