Here is the data posted on Five on Friday:This is the resulting difficulty table resulting from the formula. It is based on a targeted steal. Any random steal will be 1/3 the difficulty. I think this difficulty table uses a different success chance than the next one, so I'm not sure what this actually means.

Yeah, I can only run the numbers on the formulę I have been given. For the information on what those tables mean, I must rely on what was said in the article posted to Five on Friday. Since I'm pretty sure there is a formula or two missing, all we can really do is test things within the game to find out exactly what table this represents.
