Marbles fall through array of pegs into slots to form a distribution curve.

Boltzmann Distribution

[M | t+ | —]
Mechanical analog of energy level populations which models a gas at essentially any temperature.

Towers of Hanoi 

[M | t | —]
Move the stack of four disks, two pegs to the right, in the minimum number of moves while keeping larger disks under smaller ones.
