The 2-state, 4-symbol Busy Beaver problem, BB(2,4), was officially found to be 3,932,964 on August 22, 2024 by the bbchallenge project, when a proof for the BB(2,4) case was added to Coq-BB5 and successfully compiled. The champion machine M, has S(M) = 3,932,964 and Σ(M) = 2,050.

History

  • Brady found a steps and ones champion in 1988, establishing S(2,4) ≥ 7195 and Σ(2,4) ≥ 90.[1]
  • Terry and Shawn Ligocki found the champion in 2005 but they did not prove it was BB(2,4).

Champion

S(2,4) = 3,932,964 and Σ(2,4) = 2050 and both are achieved by only one champion (in TNF):

  • 1RB2LA1RA1RA_1LB1LA3RB1RZ (bbch)
