so 1/3 chance when you get that reward, and a chest typically has 3 rewards, so it'd just cross cancel the 1/3 chance to get a pick. (1/9)(1/3) = 1/27 would be the answer if the chest came with 1 reward.
Wouldn't be 11% because that's not how probability works, it'd be +3 chances at 3.7%
Cyn look at the code marc posted.... It has a 1/9th chance of calling that case in that case each tool has a random Boolean (true or false) for each of the tools.
oh, true or false.
Still, there are multiple cases selected each chest, so a few chances are given each chest.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, some people just abuse the privilege.

I was just trying to say it's a whole different chance because there are more than one case per chest. :O

OK PEOPLE. In summary, Theres a small chance to get a pickaxe. Where do you people get these equations from any way? All I would say is " Its hard to get a pickaxe." Bam, explained.

I don't think even nidefawl can change specific player's chances of getting items in a dungeon...
