Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Timing photos on a moving rail
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Pokémon Snap
Creature behavior is fully scripted
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
