    Hi Sheila,

    When you look at that drawing, you see the balls hitting a peg, rolling off it to one side and falling straight down. That is not how the balls fall in the simulation.

    You probably could tweak the Settinngs to get the balls to fall like that, but even then, they’d havre to fall one at a time, so they don’t interact with each other.

    Looking at your result, you are ver close!, but the peg placement seems to be slightly off for these Settings each ball should hit each peg exactly in the middle and yours seem to favor one side over the other.

    Also, the amount of balls and slits make the effect more (or less) obvious.

    And finally, I spent many hours tweaking the Physics Settings and adjusting the peg placement, to get that result.
