Your notation leaves a little bit to be desired, but if I make a reasonable guess as to what you are suggesting doing, I think it’s OK. Not great, but probably OK. There are thick yellow books and innumerable papers dedicated to the topic of efficient Monte Carlo simulation. Your approach may be men...

That’s bad. But at least they’re not hunting penguins!

It's only a song.  You are obssessed. I used to sing German songs in German on stage in the 60s (to thunderdous applause) but TBH I preferred Rogers and Hammerstein. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlDpF7jKGPA We learned it at summer school in Donegal.
