Integrals I: Feynman's Trick · Superchallenge problem

The plane is ruled by parallel lines spaced 22 units apart. A needle of length 11 is dropped at random, with its center uniformly distributed and its orientation uniform and independent of the position. What is the probability that the needle crosses one of the lines? Express your answer in terms of π\pi.
