Bunnies 9

Bunnies 9 is a methuselah with lifespan 17410 that was found by Paul Callahan. It is currently the longest-lived known methuselah with 9 or fewer cells. Its name comes from the fact that after generation 91 it evolves similarly to the methuselah bunnies.

The stable pattern that results from bunnies 9 has 1744 cells and is the exact same as that of bunnies. That is, it consists of 136 blinkers (including 14 traffic lights), 109 blocks, 65 beehives (including three honey farms), 40 gliders, 18 boats, 18 loaves, seven ships, four tubs, three ponds and two toads.[1]

  • Generation 91 of bunnies 9. The shape at the top-left dies off after another six generations.
  • Generation 13 of bunnies
gollark: Is there a nice way to abstract this? I was thinking a callback after all the stuff is initialized, but that seems inelegant.
gollark: Hi. I'm using some low-level bindings for a C library (cmark) which has `new_thing` and `free_thing` functions for parsers/AST nodes/etc. As of now I just have a function which allocates things, uses them, and deallocates them with a bunch of `defer`s, but now I need a function doing somewhat different operations on them.
gollark: Or, for more !!FUN!!, edited it subtly so it's totally wrong.
gollark: I mean, if it was open, could they not just have deleted it?
gollark: <@!319753218592866315> Have I died of bee exposure*?
