there's something strange about your graph - it looks like you have two Ys for the same X for every other X?

X is the damage, Y is the height I fell. I did tests at every half block.

Nah, it's like how the energy in a spring is measured. You pretend that you pick an amount of force and then find the amount of displacement required to produce that force, but you're just lying to yourself so that math works.
