Thankfully, we won't actually have to solve all 930 individually. transfer.py is a wonderful thing. There are a number of still lifes that look like they'd be solved with a transfer of this, for example: x = 126, y = 49, rule = B3/S23 51bo$5bobo43bobo$o5b2o43b2o$b2o3bo$2o16$112bo$111bo$111b3o$18bobo...

Phew, I asked for a long inserter and man-oh-man did you give me one.

One extra glider and an Insertion of a dot spark at generation 32 would do it. To get around a backblast from Chris's inserter, this insertion would have to travel upwards at c/2 for a while: x = 35, y = 29, rule = LifeHistory 21.A$19.2A$20.2A$4.A$2.A.A2.A.A$3.2A3.2A9.A$8.A10.A.A2.A.A$19.2A3.2A$ 6.A...

I was also expecting a solution that could solve both Tweedledee and Tweedledum at the same time by flipping a snake insertion, but I was never able to get anywhere close by trying methods like that. So Goldtiger pulls through again. Sure enough, #113 is probably doable, since a base can be made in ...

Non-component: A collision of one or more gliders with a rare still life that produces a different, structurally-unrelated rare. The collision is so specific that it only works on the original still life. Example: x = 14, y = 11, rule = B3/S23 9b2ob2o$10bobo$8bo3bo$8b2o2b2o$9bo$bo6bo$b2o5b2o$obo$10...

What is the smallest stable stationary object (SL or oscillator) that cannot be cleanly destroyed by a single glider? In terms of cell count, all still lifes and oscillators up to 7 cells can be destroyed with one glider. It appears that the 8-cell canoe cannot: x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23 3b2o$4bo...

The current 17G synthesis for #135 is below, but with a cleanup glider removed in the intermediate step. This would be a 16G solution, but there's a single random blinker. Neither of the 3G versions of the spark generated by the four marked gliders fit here, but I'm certain that a 4G version could b...

Idea for #266 and #267. On the left, the red cells should appear in generation 15, and a 4G inserter should be found for the double dot spark that doesn't involve the yellow glider. With everything in place, the snake inserter on the right would have room to appear. x = 49, y = 26, rule = LifeHistor...

While that still life is indeed not #70, it's fine because #70 dropped off the list anyway. Someone added a stealth improvement to the base still life for #70's synthesis, which dropped it to 16G. An idea for #210. The two distinct reactions at the bottom (pointy end of a LoM explosion and the domin...

Freywa is helping indirectly. That being said, the project will be finished when it's finished. We might finish in a few more days, or one of these last thirteen might completely stump us both until October.

The method for #79 would work for #285 as well, given a 4G bookend-or-equivalent inserter to dodge the python. Since python-at-snake is 7G thanks to Goldtiger, it sounds plausible. Anyway, #65 in 15G. A 1G cleanup for the upper right transformation may exist. EDIT: Fixed; I got a timing wrong an Ian...

10G for a 18-bit still life related to #32 and #128. Alex Greason retrieved the following 7G eater-to-snake converter, and the 4G block predecessor inserter looks like it could be replaced with a lucky 3G collision. However, I couldn't find one. This could get to 16G by either finding a 9G way to ma...

That one will have to be manually committed through Shinjuku rather than Catagolue's submission box, I think, due to the separation between gliders. And these last few are indeed tough, which is partly why I moseyed on over to the xs15s for a while. Inserting the following sparks at generation 29 wo...
