Peer reviewedHart, Derek; Roberts, Tony – Mathematics in School, 1989
This paper describes a computer simulation of Buffon's needle problem. The problem considers the probability that a needle will cross a line when the needle is thrown in a random way onto the parallel lines a certain distance apart. The paper provides the algorithm and computer program. (YP)
