- Procedure:
- Start by placing all the pennies with one color visible.
- When the tray is shaken, the pennies begin to flip dependent on how hard you are shaking it.
- Eventually, an equilibrium is reached with approximately equal numbers of greens and yellows.
- Further shaking will not return them to the way you originally placed the pennies.
- If only a few pennies are used, the system will occasionally return to its original state. This shows the dependence upon the number of particles in the system. source
