### Binomial Distribution

\[M | t+ | —\]  
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.

### Random Walk Model 

\[M | t | ★\]  
Two-dimensional array of corks; the throw of a die determines which cork is removed to show a path across the board.
