Abstract
If Kermit's What-Happens-Next-Machine had functioned, you would not have seen much, because it would have gone too quickly. In this article it is shown that putting up and solving the equations of motion of a seemingly simple mechanical apparatus presents a challenging problem. The simulation can, however, be quite instructive and also entertaining.
