In regular [[13-limit]] [[leapday]], the mapping for prime 5 is very complex at -25 generator steps, which is also in the opposite direction of how all other primes in the [[13-limit]] are reached. Furthermore, adding prime 5 to rank-3 [[parapythic]] is arguably against the original vision of it as a 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup temperament, so avoiding prime 5 may be preferred for this reason also. This results in no-5's leapday, which as aforementioned is much lower in badness, but it also allows more tunings to be used: a notable [[patent val]] tuning not appearing in the [[optimal ET sequence]] is [[80edo]], which is approximately the just-13's tuning (as [[10edo]] is used as a [[consistent circle]] of [[~]][[16/13]]'s therein), with 13/8 still tuned slightly flat so qualifying a reasonable tuning for the 2.3.13 subgroup (as evidenced by appearing in the sequence for tetris). In other words, the only reason 80edo was "disqualified" from leapday is that the mapping for prime 5 constrains the tuning range which is naturally more flexible as a no-5's 13-limit temperament, which this case is also a sign of leapday being very efficient.
