I might as well take this opportunity to mention that Mark Niemiec's database is in the process of moving from its temporary location on codercontest.com to a hopefully more permanent address at conwaylife.com. So the above codercontest.com link will soon be officially deprecated (i.e., won't be updated, may eventually be removed). The replacement location is
