A maths & stats explanation from the company CTO along with the code to
implement it, a back in the day approach that the young makers can try, a
HyperCard reference to warm the hearts of the xtalk vets and then a dad joke
that unites all with a grin or a groan all in one thread!What a
Eeww. But you're safe, I didn't plant any tomatoes.

Perhaps this helps:
I needed lists of samples that obeyed a certain distribution for a few random
experiments.
I created these with help of built-in Excel-functions and then imported them
into Livecode.

Mark W has it. The random number generator creates a "uniform" distribution.
The distribution of the means of collection of randomly generated uniform
number sequences will be gaussian in the limit of infinite numbers in the
uniformly distributed sequences (but you don't need an infinite

That is fascinating. I really don’t think this has been made explicit anywhere
else, including Stackoverflow - despite the fact that the question has been

Try rolling 2 six-sided dice. 7 is the number that appears the most
so it’s at the middle of the curve, while 2 and 12 are at the ends
of the distribution. Roll the dice multiple times to generate a
distribution.
Now simulate rolling the dice with random numbers in LC the same way.
Now conduct

Chortle.
Back in the day I would generate a random number by back-biasing a
germanium diode and hook it up to an analog-to-digital converter. Great
