Unsolved problem:
What is the exact cycle preperiod of Skelet 1?
1RB1RD_1LC0RC_1RA1LD_0RE0LB_---1RC (bbch), called Skelet #1, was one of Skelet's 43 holdouts and one of the last holdouts in BB(5). It was eventually proven to be a Translated Cycler by Pavel Kropitz and Shawn Ligocki.
It has a period 8,468,569,863 and start step about .[1] Both of these values are gigantic in comparison to the runtime of the 5-state busy beaver winner which runs for a "mere" 47 million steps.
Preperiod
The exact preperiod (minimum cycle start start step) for Skelet 1 is not known, but @hipparcos computed it to be approximately 5418883027667422764169643414989497193809945789706483. This is an upper bound (by this point the TM is cycling). This value is probably accurate to within about one period.[2]
