Like a lot of solutions, this one leans into a bit of a brute force approach. Fortunate piece is that once you work through the first 2, you just copy paste for next 2, then copy those 4 and paste the next 4, couple modifications after paste and done, so not too tedious to build. It runs fast, I can say that.

I *think* this is it . . . been a minute since I had to calculate relative probabilities!

Challenge #73. Similar to a few others suggested. Preferred a simpler vs scalable route

I calculated probabilities for each path through the plinko board, but it's been a while since I calculated relative probabilities so this is based on my best understanding of the instructions :)

Here is my workflow ! I'm not sure I answered correctly as I didn't fully understand the challenge.
