  Sorry gang, but in the puzzle I posted about the game of life ...

  [brief reminder:  infinite grid of bits, some on, some off ...
  ... live bits are germs ... 0 or 1 neighbor --> death ...
  ... 3 neighbors --> birth ... 4 neighbors --> death]

  Each location has EIGHT neighbors (not four)!  Death from starvation
  occurs with 4 OR MORE live neighbors.
					Oops!
