Double Integrals · Superchallenge problem

Numbers xx and yy are chosen independently and uniformly at random from the interval (0,1)(0, 1). What is the probability that the integer nearest to xy\dfrac{x}{y} is even? (Count 00 as even.) You may use 1−13+15−17+⋯=π41 - \dfrac13 + \dfrac15 - \dfrac17 + \cdots = \dfrac{\pi}{4}. Give an exact answer.
