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.

I may only remind to check my save, although it sounds as self advertising. I just believe it is a convenient way of explaining it, though, so let me link to it again: -

@blackantimatter Ermm, no. The spark has a far, far larger chance of going to the center because when it goes to the edges, chances are, it will double back and go closer to the center. -

Oh also, I left this on the powder toy running a while and I actually got one on the very right and two ond the very left. This is after leaving it running for a few days. All of the columns in the center were filled to the top. -

@blackantimatter: Mathematically or otherwise, nope. Scroll back and see the Maths war this question resulted in. -

mathematically, every output should have the same chance...yet somehow it has a strong center-bias. -

No. It's hopeful. Let's assume that there is 10000 user in TPT. Than if we do this for 0.667 years it may bve possible. I played tpt for 1.5 years so its possible. -
