This is lovely. Always like natural random processes over pseudorandom. Also a nice test of the randomness of raindrop fields.

Calculation of π, from rain falling on two wooden plate sensors, one circular and one square: the number of raindrops that landed on each plate during a storm was counted with an Arduino and π was calculated as the ratio [source & credits: buff.ly/2Dqy0gN]

Nice montecarlo, but raindrops are not really uniformly distributed, or so it seems 😉 Pseudorandomness is guaranteed to produce uniform distribution even if not super random, so it'll produce better results in montecarlo method. Nevermind, this was beautiful 😁
