Record small GoE: http://homepage.tudelft.nl/37b0y/
One thing puzzles me about this. The given GoE pattern fits within a 10x10 square. But the page says Verification We verified our orphan within a 40x40 grid which means a ring of 15 "don't care" cells wide around the orphan. Why would you need to do that? It seems to me all you need to do is verify it in a 12x12 grid, since the configuration of live cells in the 10x10 grid only depends on the configuration of the 12x12 grid in the previous generation. What does using a 40x40 grid accomplish? Andy
