176

Code: Select all

rle

I am pretty sure the above is minimal.
One above minimal (177):

Code: Select all

rle

I believe the minimum is 174 (5/14), you're almost there.

[testitemqlstudop]

175?

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
7.2E$2A6.E2.A$EDE.2ED.E.EDE$2.E.E.E.E.E.E$.2E.E.E.E.EDEA$E3.E.E.E.A.E

Aha! 174!

[Hdjensofjfnen]

Didn't find a reduction, but I found an alternate 176:

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
7.2E$2A6.E2.A$EDE.2ED.E.EDE$2.E.E.E.E.E.E$.2E.E.E.E.EDEA$E3.E.E.E.A.E
$3E2.E2.E.A.E$3.2A3.A.EDEA$2.A6.A$3.A.A$4.2A!

EDIT: Nice work, testitem! I knew it was somewhere in that region. Your turn to post a new one.

[testitemqlstudop]

New:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
.4A$4.A$2A$3.A$.3A!

Minimal?

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
.4A$4.A$2A$3.A$.3A!

How about this random fill?

Code: Select all

x = 14, y = 4, rule = LifeHistory
A2.A.A5.A$A.2A2.2A3.A$2.A.2A.2A.A2.A$A.A4.2A2.2A!

[Hdjensofjfnen]

Minimal?

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
.4A$4.A$2A$3.A$.3A!

Another casualty of not hitting the Sync button.
EDIT: Here's an xs solution. There's probably some xq integrations out there with x66, but I'm lazy.

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
4.2A$4.2A2$2.4E$.A3.E$.2E$4.E$.A3E$A$A.A$.2A!

EDIT: For the fill, 143 is my starting bid (two still lifes):

Code: Select all

x = 15, y = 9, rule = LifeHistory
2.A$.A.A$.E2.E.E5.D$AE.2E.A2E3.EA$.A.E.2D.DE.E2.E$.E.E4.2E.A2E$2.A$8.
4A$8.A2.A!

[testitemqlstudop]

138 with only three OFFs:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
8.2E4.2E$8.E4.E2.E$10.E2.3E$9.2E$E.EA.EA.A4.EAE$2E.A.AD2.2A2.ED.E$3.E

7.2E!

Wait! 133!

Code: Select all

x = 17, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory
8.2E4.2E$8.E4.E2.E$10.E2.3E$9.2E$E.EA.EA.A4.EAE$2E.A.AD2.2A2.ED.E$3.E

Ah ah ah, 132:

Code: Select all

x = 18, y = 12, rule = LifeHistory

2.A$3.A.A.E2.2A.E2A$4.E2.E$7.2E6.3E$15.E2.E$17.2E!

Can be trivially modified to save an OFF and get you to 94:

Code: Select all

x = 19, y = 11, rule = LifeHistory
11.2E$11.E.E$9.2E2.E$E.EA.EA.A2.2E.AE$2E.A.AD2.2A3.A.E$3.E.A.2A.DA.A
2.A$3.A.A.E2.2A.E2A$4.E2.E$7.2E6.3E$15.E2.E$17.2E!

At least eight more cells can be saved.

EDIT: Toroidalet's choice of OFFs is quite interesting and pushes the least upper bound down to 85!

[Hdjensofjfnen]

You have to admit my initial solution was quite neat, though.

3.2E$.3A.E$A2.D.E$.4A$2.A$E2.D$E4A$2.D2.A$2.3A$2.E!

I'd be surprised if this wasn't minimal.

3.2E$.3A.E$A2.D.E$.4A$2.A$E2.D$E4A$2.D2.A$2.3A$2.E!

I'd be surprised if this wasn't minimal.

I would certainly be inclined to agree, since I specifically designed it to be impossible with two OFFs, well done!
Next puzzle is yours.
