- 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)
