The dice roll thing reminded me I wrote a small multi dice roll visualization in flash that took (x) repetition of (y) dice rolls and added them together in bar charts for each repeated sum of values. I was stunned how it was flat when there was only one dice but started to look like a bell curve as the number of dice increased. Later on when I took a statistics class and learned about CLT and normal distributions it really helped to have this intuitive understanding of how multiple uniformly distributed variables combined result in a normal distribution. (and probably why the bell curve distribution shape is so common for real world data)
