The position below is not technically a pure race but I would certainly
treat it as one, because the contact is minimal.
I Axelised this to a correct take.
However, my previous methods 8/9/12 and 10% + 2 both give
an incorrect drop.

I think that, even with cruder counts like 8/9/12, it might be a take with more nuanced reasoning.
Just calling it a race ignores the contact parlay where XG rolls 22 and I hit.
But this is a 1% parlay which isn't insignificant. If using 8/9/12, we would also need to consider positional elements that
aren't explicitly included, like XG's wasteful occupation of the lower points. So I think a thoughtful adjustment-minded
approach gives the take even without Axelising, but it's nice to have the take on a plate right away.
