An updated "Lab Report" about estimating the value of pi
by "throwing" needles on a set of parallel lines can be found at:

http://www.efg2.com/lab/Mathematics/Buffon.htm

The example includes complete Delphi source code and a
complete description of the mathematics and the various
methods of randomly "throwing" the needles.

Some may be interested in how a procedure variable was
used by a set of radio buttons to set the procedure that was
used to do the computations.
