explanation of model

The Largest of the marbles passes over all 3 If functions as shown bellow.
i have written the code alongside in order to make it easier to follow.



The first image is simply the placement of the marble upon the ramp.


If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }
 


If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }



If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }



If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }


Here is the combinations for the next marble.
.... 


The marble being let go.




If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }



  

If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }



If (marble < gap) {     marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;
        }

3rd marble combination..

Marble being let go 



If (marble < gap) {
    marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;         }



If (marble < gap) {     marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;
        }

4th marble combination..

Marble being let go



If (marble < gap) {     marble falls down and follows different track}

Else (marble > gap) {continues on down pathway;
        }
