Ok, I made a list of levels which include "st-easymode" (PerOxyd stone  
0xb7), it_easykillstone (0x76) or it_easykeepstone (0x77):

3 7 8 9 10 11 14 17 24 26 27 30 31 33 34 37 38 41 42 43 45 47 48 50 51 52  
54 55 56 58 60 61 65 67 68 72 73 74 75 76 77 79 80 81 82 83 84 86 88 89 90  
94 95 96 97 98 99 100 104 105 108 110 112 114 115 116 121 124 129 133 134  
136 138 139 140 143 146 148 149 151 152 153 154 156 157 158 161 163 164  
165 166 168 169 170 172 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 182 185 186 188 190  
192 195 196 197 198 199 200

But there are some more levels which provide an easy mode: 29 (those tops  
move quite faster in normal mode than in easy mode), 40 (player controls 2  
marbels, one rubberband removed),70 (gradient force is much stronger in  
normal mode),74 (not emulated correctly in enigma, there should be an  
it-brake in easy mode), 78 (speed of tops), 92 (speed of tops), 103 (there  
is no rubberband in easy mode. I don't really know how this is  
accomplished, but in enigma it works correctly), 147 (speed of tops), 162  
(timer is much slower in easy mode), 173 and 184 (speed of tops again).

Well, to cut a long story short, this is the table:

bool LP_PerOxyd::hasEasymode(size_t index) {
    static const bool easymode_map[200] = { // 1-100 single, 101 - 200  
netplay
        false, false, true, false, false, false, false, true, true, true,   
//  1 -  10
        true, false, false, true, false, false, true, false, false,  
false,  // 11 -  20
        false, false, false, true, false, true, true, false, true, true,   
// 21 -  30
        true, false, true, true, false, false, true, true, false, true,   
// 31 -  40
        true, true, true, false, true, false, true, true, false, true,  //  
41 -  50
        true, true, false, true, true, true, false, true, false, true,  //  
51 -  60
        true, false, false, false, true, false, true, true, false, true,   
// 61 -  70
        false, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,  //  
71 -  80
        true, true, true, true, false, true, false, true, true, true,  //  
81 -  90
        false, true, false, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,  //  
91 - 100
        false, false, true, true, true, false, false, true, false, true,   
//101 - 110
        false, true, false, true, true, true, false, false, false, false,   
//111 - 120
        true, false, false, true, false, false, false, false, true,  
false,  //121 - 130
        false, false, true, true, false, true, false, true, true, true,   
//131 - 140
        false, false, true, false, false, true, true, true, true, false,   
//141 - 150
        true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true, false, false,   
//151 - 160
        true, true, true, true, true, true, false, true, true, true,   
//161 - 170
        false, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,   
//171 - 180
        false, true, false, true, true, true, false, true, false, true,   
//181 - 190
        false, true, false, false, true, true, true, true, true, true    
//191 - 200
    };
    return easymode_map[index];
}

I don't know if this is all correct, maybe there are even more levels with  
an easy mode...
