I saw a galton quincunx, without knowing it, at the 1964
World's Fair in Flushing Meadow Park in Queens. It is
literally the only thing that I remember from the fair other
than I got to stay up late (I was 8). It really made a
strong impression on me, and I have understood about
bell-curve distributions, on some level, ever since.
