There remain 0 machine with 5 states to decide!! 🥳

We have achieved our goal of proving "BB(5) = 47,176,870":
Here's what's next:
  • We are writing a human-readable paper presenting the BB(5) proof
  • We are working on new busy beaver values such as BB(6) and setting new goals for these
  • We are maintaining busy beaver knowledge through our Discord, forum and wiki
