in which holly is bored :|
There are currently two hundred forty-one (241) residents in the castle. Going by names alone, I was unable to determine the gender of one hundred fifty-two (152) of these inhabitants. The remaining eighty-nine (89) were used as a sample pool.
Of these, forty-seven (47) are male and forty-two (42) are female. Unless the extreme number of non-gender specific names drastically changes the ratio towards females, this suggests the castle prefers male inhabitants, going by the sample pool alone. The difference is very small, but in life and in data, even small differences may make great changes.
It is obvious that not everyone reading the journal will take the time to fill out a poll or survey, therefore, a non-response bias will occur.

Are there any experts here in foreign names? I would like to further examine the population trends, but if there is no one available, I will simply commit many hours in the library to further my research.
[ooc: the pie chart is all ghetto and looks like it was quickly done, then pasted in the journal :)]

No problem~ I'm bored as hell and met a lot of people here, so I could probably help more if you need it.

Have you been here for long? And the more help the better, I suppose. To tell you the truth, a date with the library does not appeal to me all that much.

Just list some names and I can see what I can do.

I believe that the majority of names left are Japanese.
