I'll be honest I still don't know what the metrics are... I tried many different solutions at first to try and deduce what affected each primary, and I only saw that the first metric (???) was affected by cycles in some way. While I was optimizing for the other metric I came up with a new solve that tried optimizing for the second (????) metric, but ended up dropping the first metric by 700. After some tinkering with it I've ended up where I am now. I also think that it may be affected by the length of the period of the instruction tape but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway no more yap super fun week!! Let us never have a primary that accidentally goes over 8 million again thank you.
