Buffon's noodle is a problem in geometric probability that involves dropping a noodle (or a long, thin stick) on a plane with parallel lines drawn on it and calculating the probability that the noodle will cross one of the lines. This problem was first posed by the French mathematician Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon, in the 18th century.
