Re: Longest lasting patterns
Or the size of the maximum bounding box of the pattern could be arranged to increase as O(sqrt(log(N))), I think -- can't do better than that, right?

Re: My stupid challenge
about 2/3 of the way through the pattern's evolution Actually, 1/4 of the way. Call the time it takes (in generations) for the space-filler to be hit, t . The distance to the lower corner is: t c/2 At that time, the decay starts to spread downward at 2c/3. The formula for the motion of the lower co...

I think the discoverer has the right to officially name it.muzik wrote:Should we set up a poll for the name of the ship?
For the same reason, Sawmill is still officially unnamed (I was afraid of letting it get stuck with an extremely boring name).
I do like "cuttlefish" for this new ship.
