* AGlitchInTheMatrix: May is able to beat the simulations because they can't render the environment fast enough to keep up with her. The first is just a single room that repeats endlessly, causing May to freak out and attack the masseuse. In the second, May adapts to the scenario fast enough that pitching Aida over a balcony fails to render her fall, exposing the ruse. Memory wipes are used to deal with this, but May retains traces of memory that allow her to improve with each iteration. The final simulation solves the problem by using May's own memories, so May never goes off-script, so to speak.
