Wendy, our Mathagony Aunt, introduces a technique used to estimate the value of pi by throwing 20 sticks onto the pavement. This strange experiment was first performed by the French naturalist George-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1777. Pupils at Vyners school in Hillingdon investigate this experiment. As well as trying out a scaled down version of Buffon's experiment, teacher Steve Imisson demonstrates the polygon method for estimating pi, which is more obviously related to circles.
