M. 417. Make a chain from 50 paper clips. Hold the chain vertically at one of its ends such that the other end just touches the table. Drop the chain several times in succession, and measure each time the maximum size of the tangled chain and the distance between the two ends of the chain. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the measured values. Compare these with the total length of the chain when stretched.
