Axis by axis

Execution2 vs 1

Fez leans harder on execution: Rotation and platforming needs light precision only

Reads0 vs 0

Even - both lean on reads about the same.

Variance0 vs 0

Even - both lean on variance about the same.

Optimization9 vs 10

Human Resource Machine leans harder on optimization: Writing minimal correct assembly-like programs to pass each input sequence
