Umm, I make 6.9 posts every day.
you make 7.(a long time ago I make 10 posts every day)

Then how is my post rate too high when it is close to your current post rate and below your post rate when you were newer?

Whenever I see my 2017 posts, I wonder who this person (AKA me) was, and how he could possible be so immature.

The important part is that you're improving. Any rate of improvement, if sustained, will eventually close any gap. Use the fact that you have already improved to motivate yourself further.

Heh, you're right. But at the same time, I wonder what I was even thinking back then.

Feleglibleg' has 73 verb tenses so far

"Everyone is irrational, because when you divide someone by an irrational number, you get an irrational number"
- Irrational thought

"Everyone is irrational, because when you divide someone by an irrational number, you get an irrational number"
- Irrational thought

(2pi)/pi isn't irrational

because when you divide someone

You can't divide a person by a number.

That's part of why it's irrational.

Also, which small methuselah without very large ash has the most typical ash composition? My best so far is 3o$3bo$2bobo$2bo$bo$2o, but b2o$o2b2o$obo$2bo$bobo$2bo comes close.

Edit: b3o$o2bo$2o2bo$b2obo is close but should have one or two (preferably two) more blinkers.

Another edit: bo$o$b2o$o2b2o$2o2bo has first place now, but it could use one boat and one ship.

Yet another edit: 2o$2bo$2bo2bo$bob2o$2bobo deserves an honorable mention but has several atypicalities, such as having too many boats relative to its number of beehives, loaves, and gliders.

Fourth edit: 2bo$o2bobo$3o$3bo$2bo would be perfect if it formed a loaf.

Edit: b3o$o2bo$2o2bo$b2obo is close but should have one or two (preferably two) more blinkers.

Here, I fixed your methuselah.

Thank you for your effort and dedication. However, I'd argue that that's too contrived to count. In general, I feel that constructed methuselahs shouldn't count for anything. For example, here's a methuselah that lasts for over 50,000 generations that I would argue is obviously contrived and shouldn't count for any longevity records.

Code: Select all

x = 312, y = 199, rule = B3/S23

I started with 40514M, which was in turn obtained by doing the same thing with 32829M, which shows that the methuselah that I posted doesn't exactly rely on luck in the same way that proper methuselahs do.

JSeeker is going well. A traditional search program would need width 9 to find this oscillator, but JSeeker can find it at width 7 because this one phase is 7 cells wide.

Methuselahs are trivial once you allow for an arbitrary large bounding box. The reason is obvious.

Exactly. That's one of the reasons why constructed methuselahs shouldn't count.
