If you have a hammer everything looks like a nail . Below is my hammer. Due to the symmetry, I made the Monte-Carlo simulation only on the first quadrant. Furthermore, one can bound the region of simulation to the square ( 2 5 , 5 ) 2 . I got the value 1 2 . 7 8 with 200000000 trials.

Nice job! Try my problem "Operation Puzzled" only one solver so far. A program would probably go a long way in arriving at a solution.

Done. But more by smart "trial and error" than pure coding.
Nice! Thanks for solving it.

The required area is 8 ( ∫ 2 5 5 1 0 x − x 2 d x − ∫ 2 5 2 5 2 5 − x 2 d x − 2 1 ( 5 + 2 5 ) ( 5 − 2 5 ) ) = 2 5 ( 3 π + 2 3 − 4 ) ≈ 1 2 . 7 8 2 4 7 9 .
