If I stopped at first 1000 samples, I get F = 0.924.
But, that's just lucky. Result cannot be repeated.

With RND giving 12 random digits, and 4000 samples, we can barely get 1 digit.

Valentin pulled an April fool's joke on us all after all.
Just try the exact same program with seed 0.5 instead of 1.
Then your result is 0.848...
If you run it with seed 0.5 and 10000 points, I get 1.02899..
100'000 points (equivalent program on Free42) -> 1.1189...
Seed 1 just happened to get very close to the correct result ;-)
ie. I got it, J-F ;-)
