I figured out the metric during the 2nd Weeklies Results Stream. Equations and Graphs were involved. If you didn't figure it out but are curious how someone could go about it, ask me and I will share my story.

I took the "21 products in 48 cycles" approach by making a Period 6 solve that runs 7 times. I would have loved a "7-in-16" strategy with Period 4 solves, but I couldn't imagine it'd be cheaper.
