A fun challenge! I got very confused on how to do the estimation of pi, turns out I just skimmed over that part too quickly haha

Another thought provoking challenge. I've included both my solution on the original data as well as my solution on 1,000,000 randomly generated points. 

Spoiler
In my initial attempt I thought appending the two lists would provide a larger data set and therefore a more accurate estimate of pi. Upon further consideration I believe this removes an element of randomness as it repeats the values from a set list instead of creating truly random coordinates, effectively causing over sampling. Despite this I have kept both my initial response and actual solution in my workflow below.
