Good news/Bad news

That’s partially due to the diminishing returns you get with more exploded Gems. Just for fun, I just wrote a simulator that simulates explodes of 1 to 30 gems on an 8x8 board, across a million trials for each number of explosions, and calculates the average number of destroyed gems per explosion.
