NOTES
The Bounding Hexagon metric is the radius of smallest axis-aligned regular hexagon that your solution fits into.

Rate is defined as the number of cycles per outputted product ad infinitum. That is to say, your solution needs to loop. So for example, if your solution outputs once every four cycles, it has a rate of four. If it outputs twice every four cycles, it has a rate of two.

Period is defined as the length of the tape loop.

The object should be free from dirt, grease, and wax. Shake well. Pull tab. Evacuate immediately. Allow to sit overnight for full strength.
