The Instant View Editor uses a three-column layout, so you really want to use it on a desktop screen that's wide enough. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sum of Uniformly Distributed Random Numbers
Think of this as a mathematical intuition puzzle. You could work it out analytically, or you might write a computer program and beat it to death numerically (don't bother, since such a program written in JavaScript is embedded in this page), but the point is to first see if you can intuit the correct answer from the mathematical properties of the components of the problem. It's well worth a little head scratching, as the result is quite beautiful and shows how seemingly unrelated things in mathematics show a deeper unity when you look more closely at them.

Issue #3

This page has essential content under (Show Hints) collapsible: some JS calculations that are not supported by IV. Those are quite essential there, so I think this should be excluded from IV.
