Hmmm...
Is it possible to emulate a non-Turing machine computer using the Margolus family?

Re: Search for the Largest Methuselah
Methuselahs are meant to be as small as possible. Otherwise, I could have the following pattern as a megatick methuselah:
x = 250005, y = 250004, rule = B3/S23
2o$2o250000$250002b2o$250002bobo$250002bo!
Megatick, indeed... One million generations probably counts as an ultra-tick methuselah ...

Re: Search for the Largest Methuselah
Maybe this is just a noob question, but I was wondering why the bounding box for most of the methuselahs is 20x20. Why not 40x40 or even 60x60? And what do you think is the best soup search algorithm?
