Currently working to improve Life's guns and work on updating SKOPs and Isotropic rules most similar to B3/S23 to Life standards. Will get software to begin searches eventually.

A: They want to use it to model parrot population spread, which in turn, if their populations are arranged in a proper position, allows them to take over the world.

A: This is a difficult one. You’ll first want to make sure you’ve read every catalogue object page up to 16 bits. Then, place each object ahead of the waterbear on positions corresponding to the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, skipping ones with real value 1/2. If you did that correctly, an RCT pattern should form. Next, have a carefully positioned eater 19 absorb exactly 41 gliders, causing it to explode and produce a replicator. Barrage the waterbear with sir robins (from the trivial gun, of course) and the replicator should be able to kill it and destroy its remains.
