The redacted report from special counsel Robert Mueller clocks in at more than 400 pages -- and, by CNN's best estimate, includes over 900 redactions totaling more than 1,600 lines
The color-coded redactions in the report apply to four types of information: grand jury material, classified intelligence information, material tied to ongoing investigations, and information that could harm"peripheral third parties."

By our best estimate, the entire Mueller report includes 946 unique redactions and 1,657.5 redacted lines. We counted that a maximum of 46 lines could fit on a page, meaning that just over 36 pages worth -- or 8% -- of the 448-page report is redacted.Read MoreThe bulk of the redactions referred to ongoing investigations.
