Drop some random points in the square, and count how many are also in the circle, and you can calculate an estimate of pi.

This link actually shows you the calculation graphically, as well as the estimate for pi. It's pretty accurate.

I doubt you'd get better than 3 decimal places with this method due to the limit of reading

What's a 'greyhound'?

I'm guessing, something like a schnauzer....... only much larger.

I was thinking something between the 'battered sav' and the 'hello boys'.

It's an oldie but a goodie.
If you're not one of the 18.5 million people to have watched this, do yourself a favour and hit play (you can chalk 100 or so of those views up to me )

That's do-able.
