why this thing is virtually impossible by Mur
I suck at math, but according to my maths, it has a chance of 1/2 199 023 255 552, or 1/2^41 of sparking the final output. Includes pretty histogram and histogram generator. All credit for the gaussian distributor goes to samm9. Histogram plotter by me.

best explanation: every individual path has a 1 in 2^42 chance of being taken, but the ones in the center have more paths leading to them, so they are more likely to be hit overall than the corners, which only have 1 path going to them -

Absolutely true ! Very interesting !!!! +1111111111111111111111111111111111 ! -
polobob 24th Dec 2016v Yeah, theres just no way. just looking at it you can tell that more hit the middle, and yet he still thinks they have the same chance as hitting the corner. Clearly a troll or just not understanding the concept, and at this point, theres no more that can be done

I think muzau knows perfectly well that this is gaussian distribution and simply enjoys arguing with us. We've shown them countless examples and Google basically overflows with explanation on the topic. Nice mind game, muzau. -

Oops, I was trying to sleep and noticed the small triangles count as incomplete rows of the big triangle, so I woke up and corrected my maths -
Mur 24th Dec 2016@frostthehero: thanks, it was a typo. @cannon9009: I'll assume you are referring to Self_Destruct's comment about using PGRV, because sometimes I can barely make an addition without a calculator =)

You've got e-17 as the value for the first distributor; I'm fairly sure it should be e-7. -

But how long would it take for the whole corner bar to fill up? I could calculate but I'm lazy lol -
