How To Intuitively Understand Buffon’s Needle Problem

Buffon’s Needle Problem — An illustration showing four vertical lanes (with five lane boundaries) that are parallel to each other and equidistant from one another. They are spaced at a width of ‘L’ units. Buffon’s needle appears to be at an angle in the first lane without crossing any lane boundary. The length of Buffon’s needle is also ‘L’ units.
