Funny how Buffon's Needle Problem ended up solving for Pi in a probability equation.

I had a teacher in Jr. High that had us roll something circular and measure how far the circumference was. I don't recall the details but it was a real life introduction to pi. We must have measured the diameter, too, since the circumference is pi (d) or 2 pi r.
