Abstract
The expected number of crossings of Buffon's needle problem is linear if the distance d between the lines of the ruled paper is less than or equal to the length l of the needle. With the help of Dynamic Geometry Super Sketchpad software, two vivid simulations of the linearity of Buffon's problem are given, that is, the expected number E(l ) satisfies E(x+y) = E(x) + E(y) and E(rx) = rE(x).
