Yep, like if you filled a tube with identical sized marbles they would
fall neatly in a pattern if it weren't for the tube. I never tried
stacking marbles on an open surface, I think it would be very hard, and
then I guess you could also forget about the randomness. I might be
mistaken but I think that randomness in a stack of marbles (of the same
size) is not very realistic.
