Summary Savings in time and money can be achieved through the use of a Monte Carlo swindle in place of unaided experimental sampling. A description is provided of a swindle currently in use which often achieves efficiencies of several orders of magnitude in terms of the number of samples needed to achieve a given precision. Data are provided to show some efficiencies actually observed.
