I made a few changes based on what I think you were saying. If you do not like them, please add your own clarifications? --Rdm 10:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Middle?

It's a 100x100 field, there is no middle cell. I suggest odd-numbered sides (99x99 or 101x101) to remove this ambiguity.

It says "near the center". Just pick something close by. It doesn't matter too much since the area is much larger than what it takes to get to the repetitive part. --Mwn3d 01:59, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Chirality?

Perhaps this is just a nit, but a large minority of the solutions appear to be turning right on black and left on white, resulting in a mirror image of the specced result. You can tell by looking at which direction the "pinwheel" goes... --TimToady 22:51, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

The task never specifies the initial color of the field. Can one produce a mirror image by swapping the initial color. --Kernigh 01:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
