circle pi:(4-pi)? That is, the total blue area (of the four quadrants) would occupy only 4-pi of the total, and the red area would occupy pi of the total area. So, I wonder why the article seems to say the ratio of the red to blue in the quadrant is pi/4. That's not right: the ratio of the red to the

I agree. I am not sure PRNG effects on MC should be included. From my personal work I have done in the past I can say it is an issue when you have a low-quality PRNG (for instance rand() ...) and specific models, but other than saying "bad PRNG potentially leads to skewed/inefficient results" the

The calculations performed using the Monte Carlo code on the ENIAC (1948) for the H bomb were secret but the method was not. Ulam promoted the method on a tour of universities in the following year. Metropolis coined the name as a buzz word not as a secret code word.

I removed the section per the discussion above (and it was obviously redundant). I could not find any wikimedia link to python code in the article, so if someone feels that is necessary and knows where it is, please feel free to add it. Cheers!
977:-a- a Python (or any other language) code example is far too detailed (and irrelevant) here and -b- mentioning Mersenne Twister out of the blue is also irrelevant for inclusion here; Monte Carlo method has nothing to do with the choice of PRNG.
959:
that doesn't belong there is being given a new lease on life: here, as a subsection named 'Mersenne_twister (MT19937) in Python (a Monte Carlo method simulation)' within the 'Monte Carlo and random numbers' section.

Fellow-wikipedians, @Pi314m, @Mvqr, @jwikip I interpret the above exchange as consensus; hence unless there is any quick objection I shall make the above-mentioned changes to the article in the next few days ! --

I support removal. It is too python specific, and a very trivial example. PRNG choice can affect MC simulation, but not for this example.--
