Random segments on a grid

Problem: Suppose the endpoints of a line segment are determined by the uniform random selection of two points on a 12 x 12 grid in a square. Now repeat this to randomly determine a second line segment. What is the probability that these two segments cross, i.e. have a point in common?

To Simulate: Move the slider to select speed.
