This is the normal (Gaussian) distribution which was created on tpt before with water by erwins_cat, but mine is with electricity only which made it a bit tricky ;)

    When a column is sparked, both colour columns beside it get sparked; I do not think this is supposed to happen. I plan to recreate this (referenced to you) with a few additions

    or increase the number of ways it will go to the edges, nice job though

    because according the laws of statistics there are far more combinations that will send it to the middle than to the outside so you need to get rid of some of the paths that lead to the middle.

    @slasheru, It's meant to be something to produce something random, @benthecrazy, you need to make something that will not go to the centre so much because at the moment it will go towards the centre

    I bet the pioneers see all the good creations and they know that their "inventions" made creations like this possible. One thing that was taking a bit time to create were the "displays" that show how many skarks traveled through the input. You can use it if you want because I haven't seen any other creation using a counter like this one...

    Ok i may have used some harsh words, this is actually really really good and probably not stolen, but the old "pioneers" of powder toy electronics rarely get the credits they deserve for creations they made way back when... Anyway, damn fine creation.

    @merciless: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution Obviously that wouldn't help unless you understand scientific gobbildy-gook, so bascially if you have a pyramid with a 50/50 chance of the object(s) going one direction or the other, this is what it looks like.
