Question: (Buffon's Needle Problem) A needle of length L is dropped randomly on a plane ruled with parallel lines that are a distance D apart, where D ≥ L. Show that the probability that the needle comes to rest crossing a line is 2L/(π D). Explain how this gives a mechanical means of estimating the value of π.
