Recently we discovered (<a href="/abs/cond-mat/0212043">cond-mat/0212043</a>) that the majority of scientific
citations are copied from the lists of references used in other papers. Here we
show that a model, in which a scientist picks three random papers, cites
them,and also copies a quarter of their references accounts quantitatively for
empirically observed citation distribution. Simple mathematical probability,
not genius, can explain why some papers are cited a lot more than the other.
