lacked some explanation, but still explained it better than my instructor

This was a really complete book. It takes a little bit to get used to its style, but the language is clear and the content is also well-organized. It took months to read, but only because there were so many things covered. I decided not to skip the chapters I did not immediately need because I was afraid it would be in that case impossible to follow and understand things, but I believe it should be possible with a little bit of effort to skip the chapters you deem not urgent and get straight to the topic.

I have the 1972 edition of the text with this title credited to just Walpole and Myers. It was my mother's textbook at Purdue circa 1975. It starts with a fairly rigorous mathematical treatment of the basics and shifts after chapter 5 or so to be more of the cookbook style of stats text. Goes far deeper than my old stats text or anything else I personally have read. It cites Hogg and Craig, another book that happened to be in my parents' basement, as one possible place to go deeper, so I'm curious to delve into that one.

In mathematics, Buffon's needle problem is a question first posed in the 18th century by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. Who knew you could derive pi as a probability. Fascinating.

Book clearly covers topics in easy to digest sections. Tons of great problems to practice and cement the understanding of the concepts.
