• Take N pairs (x,h)

• Test the condition f(x) < h

• each time

• If the condition holds for L pairs in N

• i. e. it is enough that f(x) be measurable and limited for this to work

• Historically the first known example of this Hit-or-Miss MC

• calculation is Buffon's Needle (1777, ``Essai d'Arithmetique Morale'') to calculate p
