Apgsearch games
Here’s a strange idea. Every wednesday, I will pick two rules. You can pick One of the two rules, and whichever one has the most objects found by the next wednesday wins!
First two rules
B35/S135 Vs. B36i/S234j
(Both rules are C1 symmetry)
Pick a side, and good luck to both teams!

This is very much akin to the contests run in more general distributed computing projects. There is one key difference, however: the proposed contest won't achieve any practical goals – not even factoring large numbers or predicting protein folding.

x = 31, y = 5, rule = B2-a/S12

Re: Apgsearch games
B35/S125 is currently winning, with a 5 billion object lead on B236i/S234j.

Re: Apgsearch games
I mean, B35/S135 has a huge advantage already, it had more objects at the start of this week.

Re: Apgsearch games
This is an intrinsically unbalanced challenge, because B35/S135 is a totalistic rule and thus gets numerous built-in speedups that B36i/S234j does not. As a result, there is a wide difference in the searching speeds: on my computer, the former runs 30k soups/sec/core and the latter 700.
Re: Apgsearch games
@googleplex Can you change the rule to "the rule with most object wins"?
