How did you build it, did you repeatedly use xor paste mode?

There is already something called a Worker bee and it is well known to be extendible, the wick is mentioned in the wiki page.

I was about to post this (copied from one of your posts), you beat me to it:
This was found in 1997:

What exactly is "spiral growth"?

Can you use the newfangled Simkin Glider Gun?

There has not been any official contest to determine a pattern of the year for 2014, please post eligible patterns on this thread. A pattern is eligible if it is: (1) Created in 2014 (UTC). (2) Works in B3/S23 (should other rues be included?) (3) Somehow notable (no 30 cell, 700 generation methusela...

I think I can do it.

There are 1.8014398509481984x10^16 (18 quadrillion) 3D semi-totalistic two state rules, there is probably at least one interesting rule.

Most promising rules are those starting with B0 (but not S8), B5, B6, B7, or B9.
My suggestion is; start with B6 and B7 rules.

So this will work?
I assume you will turn it into this:
13,14,15,16,5,11,9,6,8,17,1,7,10,3,12,4,2

Should an exception be made to the deadline to allow Extrementhusiast to revise that vote (it does not have the proper form)?

It ended!

You failed!

Welcome to ConwayLife.com! The V-gun fires Corderships and each Cordership consists of several switch engines. I assume that when you destroyed that V-gun, two switch engines survived and escaped as a puffer. Do not get discouraged by this, every newbie comes up with piles of "discoveries" that are ...

15,6,8,14,4,10,13,3,5,2,12,11 It was tempting to give a very high vote for #3 (the one pattern I contributed to) but I tried to be more fair. In my humble opinion, collections of patterns are apples in a crate of oranges. EDIT: In I way, I am glad I can cast my vote without having to weight the meri...

Would it be practical to build the semi-snarks in the set configuration? This would make it a lot faster but (I think) still O(t log(log(t))).

Definitely less then 1267650600228229401496703205376.

I guess it is up to Alexey.

Also, I could not find a pattern file of the H->MWSS, I sent a PM requesting a link.

Firstly, buy a bottle of poison and put a bit of it into a syringe. Then take a cockroach and invite it to chat with you. The cockroach should feel relaxed and comfortable, or the method will not work. Tell your cockroach a good joke so it laughs out loud. Quickly take your syringe and inject a dro...
