This is very interesting indeed. But since you ask for comments, I would 
point out that Buffon was a "comte" rather than a "compte"[*]. Laplace 
was one too, a simple "Buffon" would be enough.

PS : actually, I considered the possibility that you meant "compte de 
Buffon" as "Buffon's count" (as in countng needles), but I did not find 
any reference to this name for his method.
