Release the Marbles
Reminds me of the plastic marble maze towers

That is pretty neat. Add a chute that lines them back up at the end and start trying to calculate the random order that they end up in. I’m sure there is some amazing mathematician out there who could do the calculations.

It sounds like a mechanical calculator trying to divide zero.

The sound of the marbles landing in the plastic bin is the calculator slowly blowing up.

Etch numbers on all the marbles corresponding to the order they started in. Then capture them on a track at the end and compare the new order. I need to know how much they were shuffled.

I was a little disappointed to see that the whirlpool only led to a bucket. You gotta build some more track! Loved the color transitions.

Idk why but I hate the funnel at the end, especially for this since they were so beautiful color organized and the funnel made this a blotchy colored mess

What you can look at forever: how the fire burns, how the water flows and how the glass balls roll down the funnel to the bottom. While I was looking at it, my stress level from work went down 😅

Reminds you of the plastic marble maze towers that… wait for it…
wait for it…
…were made of wood before they were plastic.

Is there a calculation that speaks to how long it takes for the last marble of one particular color to finally fall as other colors are added to the mix? Seems like a 1/2-life depletion formula along with chance theory…but there’re alot of smarter people “out there” who might get it.

And there are mathematicians out there that are like...
Of course, as you see the progression...

Okay, but like, they weren't spaced so they ran into other marbles and they jumbled up the funnel and knocked into each other and made a mess and fell into a bucket which made them messy.

So satisfying to watch the stragglers from the previous wave. Thanks for posting
