By model and setting

Each model and reasoning setting appears once. If a model produced more than one player program for this game, the row stands for all of them: Programs counts the working attempts out of the counted attempts, Score and Raw rating average the programs (weighted by attempts; the small range is the lowest and highest program rating), and the combined record adds up their matches. Score is relative within this game (0–100). Scores here are working-program strength: failed generation attempts are left out and count as 0 only in a model's headline score.
