Pickaxes

"Pickaxes" is the third leg of The Amazing Marble Race - Season 3.
== Intro ==
Last leg, 9 marbles died. In this leg, 8 will die.
That means the chance of death increased from 19.6% to 21.6%.

* Normally, by the time the leg victor finishes the leg, two or three marbles remain in the dispenser. However, by time finished this leg, a whopping 27 marbles remained in the dispenser.
** This was likely due to the fast pace of the short way to finish. This upsetted fans of marbles in the Bottom 8, like (14 marbles finished before it came out).
** By the time (last place in Leg 2) started Leg 3, 19 marbles had finished (the first two chutes were filled), and only 10 spots remained.
