Unsolved problem:
What is the cycle start time of Skelet 1? The best known lower bound is .

1RB1RD_1LC0RC_1RA1LD_0RE0LB_---1RC (bbch)

A skeleton warrior holding a sword. The runic inscription on its blade is a string that is particularly often encountered on a tape during Skelet 1 simulation.

One of the most challenging BB(5) Turing machines to prove non-halting. It was eventually proven to be a Translated Cycler with period 8,468,569,863 and start step about [1]

Preperiod

The exact preperiod (minimum cycle start start step) for Skelet 1 is not known, but @hipparcos computed it to be approximately 5418883027667422764169643414989497193809945789706483. This value is probably accurate to within about one period.[2]
