#C From: "Alan W. Hensel" <71162.1500@compuserve.com>
#C Subject: slight modification, smoother growth
#C
#C I found that by moving one of the stretchers over and advancing it a
#C generation, you can get smoother growth -- each stretcher is out-of-phase
#C with its opposite. In fact, the population starts at 550, 9 cells lower
#C than Hartmut's original filler, and NEVER decreases; it never even
#C increases less than 13 cells in a generation...
#C
#C (sorry that it's flipped sideways from Hartmut's original message)
#C
#C Population growth for this filler is:
#C (1/4)(n+26)^2 + 381 for even n
#C (1/4)(n+26)^2 + 381.75 for odd n
