Law of large numbers and the central limit theorem
Why does the bell curve show up everywhere? Because averages of almost anything turn into bells. You'll take thousands of samples from lopsided, two-humped and coin-flip populations and watch their averages line up into a narrow bell every time. Then you'll use the √n rule to estimate π by throwing random darts.
