Busy Beaver Lab

0/6

First Beaver

Find a halting machine that gets at least halfway to the record for its state count (record 50 or higher).

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Open

Finish the Search

Sweep an entire enumeration — coverage 100 — so the champion you found is not a guess but the answer.

Tier 1 · ~5 min

Open

Nobody Knows

Build a window where more than half the machines are undecided — decided below 50 — while at least one of them still halts. Not a failure: a demonstration.

Tier 2 · ~15 min

Open

Proof and Search

Decide 60% of a window while still finding a machine at 80 or more of the record — certainty and discovery in the same sweep.

Tier 3 · ~15 min
