  abstract =     "The quincunx, a contraption with balls rolling through
                 a triangle-shaped arrangement of nails, was invented to
                 illustrate the binomial distribution and the central
                 limit theorem for Bernoulli random variables. As it
                 turns out, a modification of the quincunx can be used
                 to teach many different concepts, including the central
                 limit theorem for independent but not identically
                 distributed random variables, permutation tests in a
                 paired setting, and the generation of a random variable
                 with an arbitrary continuous distribution from a
                 uniform variate. This article uses a universal quincunx
                 ``uncunx'' --- applet to illustrate these and other
                 applications.",
