It's just a normal distribution, that's "tilted" to the left or  
right. I actually went through that site, but apparently missed the  
FAQ on how to generate them.

Anyway, I have a student that already submitted an almost correct  
solution (I actually fixed it, but haven't given out the solution).  
I'm going to have him implement both the random number generator and  
the distribution for the Math toolkit. So, if you're interested in an  
extra distribution, I think I could persuade him to submit it :)
