Pull one marble back to a 45 deg. angle and 5
release When I pulled one back at a 45 angle the
marble hit another and caused the
reaction a few times.
Pull two marbles back to a 45 deg. angle and 5
release When I pulled two marbles back at a 45
angle the marble hit the other and caused
the reaction a few times.

Pull one marble back on both sides to a 45 5

deg. angle and release The two marbles (the ones on either side
that I pulled back) made a little reaction
on the next two marbles, but mainly
bounced back outwards a couple times.
Pull two marbles back on both sides to a 45 5
deg. angle and release A similar reaction to the one above this,
except the marbles didn’t go in one
specific direction, they just jumped
around.
Pull one marble back to roughly 80 deg. angle 5
and release The normal reaction was a lot bigger and
went for longer.
Pull one marble back on both sides to roughly 5
