Buffon s needle was the earliest problem in geometric probability.
I do worry that my dogs will find it before me but dh has been great at crawling around with a flashlight.

I dropped a needle on a carpeted floor.
How do you find a sewing needle on a carpeted floor.

If you have hardwood flooring it s possible that the needle is lodged between boards or by the baseboard.
Fortunately i had already dosed and also it was past expiration date.
Which leaves one choice left.
If you have a strong magnet put it on a short pole and sweep the floor and furniture with it.
