Normal (Gauss) distribution

Mathematics

Rotating the board on its axis, you set into motion a flow of steel beads that bounce with equal probability to the left or right through several rows of pegs. As the beads settle into the bins at the bottom of the board, they accumulate to approximate a bell-shaped curve. What happens if you repeat the process multiple times? Does the shape of the curve change?
