This is definitely a good enough excuse to keep spreadsheets of stats for this wonderful sport.

Probably not a good enough excuse to try to measure variation of imperfections in a bag of marbles.

There are some principals about inertia of rolling disks and spheres that I learned in a dynamics class and can't remember right now.
