Two colliding objects {collision}| have compressive force. Initial positions and velocities cannot be precise, but deviations are small, so future behavior mostly predictable. For collisions between three objects simultaneously, future behavior can deviate far from predicted behavior. If first two objects collide first, followed by third object, resulting motions can be much different than if last two objects collide first, followed by first object.
