A beacon can survive two dot sparks w/o being rephased:
Code: Select all
x = 10, y = 10, rule = B3/S23

Probably already known, but I'm not sure.
Edit: A p10 beacon hassler based on this reaction:

How are eater 5s not Spartan? I know that making a block and adding a tail are Spartan, and I would be very surprised if I found out that tubs are not Spartan.
Edit: Something like this is also plausible.
Code: Select all
x = 16, y = 7, rule = B3/S23

I quoted you in the Famous Quotes, as the birthday you mentioned was actually today.

Dear Matthias Merzenich,
Goldenratio (in a locked thread) wrote:I actually can't believe you if you're reading this text. So I guess you noticed there was an awkwardly large gap between the previous line and the signature, or did you just highlight stuff at random? This is awkward. Bye.
I got this by searching for the word "signature" in the forums. I was trying to find someone whose signature contains a lot of blinkers, gliders, boats, etc made up of "@". I remember seeing this signature, but now I couldn't find it. Please help.
Have a good day!

Freywa wrote:zdr is a problem with the community because he will not reveal his name or the techniques used to find the spaceship. I have reached out to him to get his details out, but it seems he's a "hit-and-run" user who only cares about the fame.
Conway's Life is a field of mathematics; like all fields of mathematics the research into it is open and honest. Yet zdr is selfish (for the reasons mentioned above). What can we do about this?
Just... no. Haven't we
discussed this before?
As a bunch of other people have mentioned, 1) pseudonymity is not a recipe for fame, 2) zdr has been quite honest about their discovery and the method of depth-first search used to discover it, and 3) no matter what someone discovers, it is their choice what information about themselves they wish to divulge, and you are not entitled to such knowledge if they decline to share.
Say, didn't your favourite TV show mention something about
not looking gift horses in mouths?

First, most outer-totalistic rules have been searched, and it’s not worth a thread if you only want to talk about this - of course, unless it have either:
1.engineering potential(like the (23,5)c/79 herschel climber, which can be found on the “LifeWiki” ’s search).
2.special uses, like a faster spaceship speed(than any other possible one), elementary mathemetic problem emulator, etc.
3.PLEASE READ LIFEWIKI FIRST!!! LifeWiki have almost all the required knowledge of Celluar Automatas. If you don’t know some of the words, search them in conwaylife.com/lifewiki.
