Margaret built a circular garden in her backyard that has a diameter of 10 feet. In the center of the garden is a circular bird bath that has a diameter of 3 feet. If a squirrel on a tree limb directly over the garden drops an acorn at random and it lands in the garden, what is the probability it does not hit the bird bath?

Benjamin attended his town's annual Worm Charming Competition. Contestants are assigned to a square foot of land, where they have 30 minutes to "charm" worms to the surface of the dirt using a single technique. Benjamin observed contestants' charming techniques, and kept track of how many worms surfaced.
