Doesn't the maximum population on the dimensions of the "world"? And also the question does not say where on the screen/world the given shape should be placed.

Well, it's not the pretty well known pattern you think of. It just looks similar...Chocoholic wrote:I'm quite sure that I have the correct values for this pretty well known pattern, but the challenge does not accept them. I also tried +/-1 for the generation.
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing? Is there something that makes it less trivial than it seems?

have a look at the list of people who solved this challenge:

you can see that many people solved it in the last few weeks, so it is very unlikely that there was a bug in this challenge.

I'm not sure if that is correct - I think a population can very much become stable on an infinite grid. "Stable" means that the maximum value of living cells can change in a repeating pattern, but it does not grow beyond an upper bound N.bodjo wrote:if the population get stable I think your 'world' is not big enough
