Challenge #73: Plinko Probabilities

This challenge was too tough for me and I did not have the courage to search a lot! I have still spent a lot of time on the n°75, so I decided to learn from other solution... The one from Jonathan Allenby was very clever so I have rebuild the same workflow. It was a nice and smart idea and allow me to practise iterative macro I never use.

Finally got around to this challenge. I went a different route and created an app to allows you to create your own Plinko board and try to win some hypothetical money.

Then made some reporting histograms to see the probability of landing in a particular ending position depending on start point. i ran 1000 trials for each start point

Thank you, @MattD, for a neat challenge!  I leveraged the solution provided, as I got a bit in the weeds with the calculations.  It was a good learning experience!
