Twilight "Hunting" Sparkle

Moderators*,

Hunting should be discouraged from posting such comments. Not only is this one not true but it serves no useful purpose. Bprentice chose to post a comment which adequately describes his own purpose, which was ultimately influenced by an earlier misunderstanding he had nothing to do with. Furthermore, all forum members — looking pointedly at you, Hunting and JP21 — should understand and respect Dani by not constantly and pointlessly bringing up her (NOT "his") years-old defunct account. [Hunting's general conduct on this forum has likewise provided additional evidence for bprentice's implicit claim that young forum members tend to be harmfully disrespectful to newcomers.]

Browsing ancient threads...

Spaceships move, so they correspond to animals.

Are you suggesting that a toad (p2 oscillator) is a type of plant?!

EDIT: this good prediction

For three glider collisions you could measure the time from when the last glider collides. I believe that three glider collisions haven't all been done yet, so it's entirely possible one of them will make a switch engine.

EDIT2:

Sokwe expressed an interest in novel eaters, so here's an R-pentomino eater:

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
bo$b2o$2o2$7b2o$4b2o2bo$3bob3o$2bo$3b5o$7bo$5bo$5b2o!

And another larger, more elaborate one:

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 13, rule = B3/S23
bo$b2o$2o4$12b2o$2bo2bo3bo2bo$2b4o2bobobobo$6b3obo2b2o$4b2o4bo$4bo2b3o

That has to be the most useless accidental discovery I have ever seen. Why use an exotic palladium catalyst when you can just use THF and NaOH?

Because if you didn't discover it with palladium, you wouldn't ever know that you can do it also using THF and NaOH.

Yes, I think that destroying R using single eater is likely to be already known. I'm not so sure about the other reaction though. It may be actually new.

It's not completely useless at all: it's fun to see how many people fall for the trap of thinking that it performs the impossible.

Hi!
I'm new here. I created this period 9 spaceship but I can't find it in the Category "Spaceships with period 9" https://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Categor ... h_period_9

#C fake Sir Robin synthesis, by Dave Greene
…

…

... predicted the reverse caber tosser.

this good prediction

For three glider collisions you could measure the time from when the last glider collides. I believe that three glider collisions haven't all been done yet, so it's entirely possible one of them will make a switch engine.

Speaking of the fake Sir Robin synthesis, predictions that turned out to be correct, and memorable quotes (or at least quotes that would be memorable if they were true), imagine if instead of this:

Why "4 months and a week"? What happens in 4 months and a week?

Sir Robin Synthesis Day

calcyman had instead typed this:

Why "4 months and a week"? What happens in 4 months and a week?

Natural Loafer Day

Apparently, scoliosis is a feature.

Then why does Sir Robin appear to have scoliosis?

That's a feature, not a bug.

Edit: Calcyman originally claimed that GPSEs could not reflect signals but ended up being the one to prove my version of the universal constructor universal.

The object needs to be able to reflect gliders at period 192, which means that the mechanism responsible for reflecting the glider must occur at a period which divides 192. This is the case for the Sakapuffer (96 divides 192), but not for the GPSE (384 does not divide 192).

I've found a universal set for MathAndCode's original 17-glider RCT.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to avoid this concept altogether and forget the descriptor "methuselah" to a pattern. After all, if we did so, what would the first posts of all new users be? "I have found a pattern that takes somewhat longer than other patterns to stabilise into a bounded-population constellation of various still lifes, oscillators and diverging spaceships!"

...or maybe "Is this 34c/117 spaceship known?" (there might be bugs in wfind) ~~wdr

There should also be a `teenager` function with many arguments.
Edit: And a`celllist` that plays the celllo if I remember correctly.
