Some numerical data on the Grasping Plateau

So... it's time for a Glacies style post about something nobody cares about.
Have you ever wondered how many breakable gravestones there are in the Grasping Plateau? No? Well it was only a matter of time before somebody with too much free time on their hands actually sat down solo and started counting.
Keep in mind that I do believe the actual number of gravestones and their contents are randomized, so do not take this data as absolute but more like a very rough sample that points towards some average behavior.
Without further ado, here are the results based on a single Grasping Plateu at depth 27:

Total number of breakable gravestones: 349
Empty gravestones: 267 ( relative: 76.50429799 % )
Gravestones containing Souls: 23 ( 6.59025788 % )
Gravestones containing Scarabs: 33 ( 9.455587393 % )
Gravestones containing Bombies: 24 ( 6.8767990831 % )
Glitchy Gravestones: 2

Wait, what are glitchy gravestones you ask? Well it has occured me quite some times already that very rarely when destroying a gravestone that's empty the "green ring of light" effect that appears when a grave is destroyed is unusually emphasized, sometimes even covering the entire screen while other times is just bigger than usual. I thought maybe they were related to the number of gravestones destroyed currently, but that was quickly disproven when I got another glitchy gravestone right after destroying one. Just for reference, I got the first one when I had destroyed 210 gravestones.

And before Bopp shows up, yes I did check the forums to see if something similar has been posted before but I did not find anything relevant. And yes Bopp, I know the forum search engine is slow so I used the "site:" command of Google.

What do you think about these numbers? Do you think they're reasonable? Do they match the experience you've had with the Grasping Plateau ?

(I'm just joking, no offense to you Bopp)

great

People like knowing what to expect from the Grasping Plateau. So I'm not even sure that this study is worthless. Thanks for posting. :)

Nice.

You've done some calculating on that level. Very smart. Just one question. How many Apocrean Sigils in total do knights get in the Grasping Plateau each time they go there in estimate? That's something to think of.
