Is there some secret trick that I don't know about to be notified of edits to posts? Anyway, I'm not 100% sure that 42 is optimal, given that I haven't verified with a search program, but it's the smallest I've been able to get: x = 12, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory4.AC$5.A$3.C2.AC$3.AC.C$.CA2.C2.A$C2.A2.CACAC$.C2.AC5.C$2.CA3.A2.CA$4.A.AC$4.C.C$.CA.A.A$.AC.CA!

I'm surprised no one found my solution, as the "diagonalistic" nature of the puzzle should have been an obvious clue.

This puzzle is impossible. There is no way to stabilise the centre cell (in red below) without causing one of it's neighbours to die. I suggest you at least create a solution yourself before posting another puzzle
