Invalid. Some of those gliders can't come from infinity.

Re: Catagolue Oddities
Someone on Discord has found that the "B0 indicator" for determining whether odd periods can exist or not is determined solely by whether the rule begins with "b0". https://catagolue.hatsya.com/object/xp2_33/b0xgxl3aaeaiaja4x-4aacaeaiajakanaqaratawayazas2aacaeaiakana3x4x-4aacaeaiajakanaqaratawayazav...

Re: what should i do
Tally up the R-pentomino hasslers on the wiki and see which R predecessors are more common than others.
(I've done it for honey farms, although it was a while back.)

Re: Thread for basic questions
With a 100×100 torus, there are 10000 cells and therefore only 2^10000 possible states. The lifespan of any pattern before settling cannot be more than that.

Re: Gun Discussion Thread
I'm currently compiling a list of 3o2$o! + domino → glider reactions on User:HotdogPi/3o2$o!, and I reduced gun_495 (45 and 55) and gun_4182 (82 and 102) this way. What else can I add to the list (especially edgy dominoes)?

Re: Jokes
Golly seems to crash in these two situations:
1. When the population changes from 154 to 155.
2. When the population is 157 in two consecutive generations, usually; there's a small chance of it surviving and a small chance of a visually glitched screen but no behavior changes.
How do I fix this?

These guns aren't record-breaking, but it's possible the same mechanism (which is the same for both of these) can be used elsewhere. p224 (p56 phi sparker, p32 V sparker) x = 44, y = 46, rule = B3/S23 13b2o7bo$13bobo5b2o15b2o$14b2o3b2obo15bo$10b2o7b2o15bobo$9bobo15b2o7b 2o$9bo15bob2o3b2o$8b2o15b2o5b...

Re: Execution of Old Guns by Variable-Speed Firing Squad
If you look in the textcensus, I just added several 4-digit gun periods that are multiples of 192 (7, 9, 13, 17, 19, 29, 31, 37, 43, and I might be missing one or two). Their bounding boxes are typically between 2000 and 4000 cells.

Re: Script request thread
Go through the Catagolue gun census. For 4-digit periods that are a 3-smooth number times a number under 1000, automatically add semi/tremi/quadri-snarks to the 3-digit periods to create the 4-digit period if it would result in a reduction. If there is currently no gun for the specified 4-digit numb...

Re: Simple math questions about Conway's Game of Life
The number of 1xn patterns with no dots or dominoes (i.e. that don't die immediately) has the ratio of f(n):f(n-1) approach phi. The law of large numbers can be seen in "is A more common than B given a specific sample size" as the sample size tends toward infinity. There are quadratic growth pattern...

This forum has some discussion of SAT solvers used to find oscillators and spaceships (or prove them impossible). Has anyone used SAT solvers for their intended purpose of solving the SATs? Many people on this forum are in the United States and in high school.
