[FRIAM] Entropy RE-redux

[Marcus Daniels]

Can you make this more fun and ask George or your favorite virtual correspondent for a Python or Mathematica implementation?  Then we’d have something definite to debug.

Same setup as before. Cylinder with two plungers and a peggable slider at dead center.  Lets fill our compartments with bbs of the same volume. Unpeg the divider.  Now lets tap on the two opposite plungers with a series of blows of the same average magnitude but different but different positive skew in the distribution of magnitudes. Will the divider move?
