One of the first labs I did in college, it brings back pleasant nostalgia.

It was my first independent Monte Carlo calculation -- changed my life.

That project led directly to the 'rand' call in this function [1] 13 years later and fundamentally altered the way I think about data analysis.

Yup - oldie but a goodie. We did it with rice grains and graph paper recently, then a spreadsheet.

Someone here suggested the Steinmetz solid as a follow up which I will try next time I teach that group.

Yep, it was a problem I encountered had back in high school Pascal. Fun times :)
