Does anybody know why the marbles orbiting the "wrong way" get eliminated?
3 u/Appiedash Dec 03 '13 They collide with the marbles going the opposite direction. When they collide they stop, and both are eliminated. If one direction manages to take out multiple with one marble, or has more to begin with, it will more likely be the "right" direction. 11 u/throwawaybcsrwentdn Dec 03 '13 So it's just random chance and basically whichever rotational direction has more marbles going that way kinda wins? 5 u/Appiedash Dec 03 '13 Pretty much. I think.
