Another waste of time!

This could have been done in a 5x5 grid.

Kristen, this is NOT a pbn puzzle but the theory of final ending, and doesn't work in 5x5.
You don't know this theory...

Apparently it doesn't translate well into English, because I can't find anything about a "theory of final ending."

Perhaps you didn't intend his to be a PBN puzzle. If you know it makes a simple and boring puzzle, why publish it at all?

I don't get this. And you criticized my puzzle, so I say you need to be better at designing.

I can see that this is an initial state in Conway's Game of Life which has interesting properties. But presenting it as a PBN puzzle is doing no favors to those of us that come here to solve PBN puzzles.

By analogy to cooking: this is a lovely and subtle entree you've cooked - and in order to get it looked at, you've placed it on menu as dessert. Nobody who sees it in this context will care what it is, just what it isn't.

Thank you, Jason.

OK, this puzzle is much more interesting (for me), than drawing the same cats and deers and persons every time.
I don't need your attention. I don't like to explain how important theories are behind Conway's idea.
Please stay in your own foolish American dreams :)

We'll stay in our dreams if you stay in yours!

Ditto #9.

I get it and I think it's great, even as a PBN puzzle.
