  • John Tromp introduced the function for Busy Beaver for lambda calculus with an oracle and computed it up to .
  • Instruction-Limited Greedy Busy Beaver gBBi(n) and an Instruction-Limited variant of the Blanking Busy Beaver (BLBi(n)) were introduced. gBBi(n) was computed up to n = 13 and BLBi(n) was computed up to n = 7.
