'''Task:''' Simulate 50 pseudorandom drops. The radial displacement of the drop from the funnel position is given by a Gaussian distribution (standard deviation is 1.0) and the angle of displacement is uniformly distributed. Apply each rule to the set of 50 drops, and show a scatter plot of the result.

The radial displacement of the drop from the funnel position is given by a Gaussian distribution (standard deviation is 1.0) and the angle of displacement is uniformly distributed. Apply each rule to the set of 50 drops, and show scatter plots of all four results.
