Problem 18

Each square in a grid is either filled or empty, and has up to eight adjacent neighboring squares,
where neighboring squares share either a side or a corner. The grid is transformed by the following rules:

 Any filled square with two or three filled neighbors remains filled.

 Any empty square with exactly three filled neighbors becomes a filled square.

 All other squares remain empty or become empty.

A sample transformation is shown in the figure below.

Suppose the grid has a border

of empty squares surrounding a subgrid. How many initial configurations will lead to a
transformed grid consisting of a single filled square in the center after a single transformation?
(Rotations and reflections of the same configuration are considered different.)
