“Easy Rule 30” software developed
On October 1, 2019 a well-known American mathematician Stephen Wolfram announced “Wolfram Rule 30 Prizes” science competition.
The competition is devoted to the solution of the so-called “Rule 30” – one of the unsolved math problems from a cellular automaton area.

Sequence of record 288-step delayed palindromes found
On 26 April 2019, Rob van Nobelen discovered the 23-digit number 12000700000025339936491 – the first one that takes record-breaking 288 steps to reach a final 142-digit palindrome. The previous record (261 steps) was set in 2005.
We expanded the found number to a sequence with 19353600 terms in total. This sequence currently includes all known 288-step delayed palindromes.
All results are contributed to OEIS and will be published in due course.
