My solution attached.
I took a slightly different approach. In my app, I have the user input 3 values. (1) the width of the plinko board, (2) the height of the plinko board, and (3) the slot that they drop the puck in. Based on these inputs, the probability distribution of plinko board is returned.
Had to employ some R code to simulate the probabilities because I used a nested for loop to iterate through each row and column of the plinko board individually and handle the various cases. Unfortunately could not figure out a way to do this with native Alteryx tools but Im sure there is.

Most of the time taken up by wrapping my head around the problem.

Very nice challenge, I tried to take the formulaic approach. I came across several sticking points and had to think of different approaches to usual so it was a great challenge for slightly out-of-the-box thinking.
