Big S (or large S[1] or S-spiral[2] or simply S[3]) is a simple 14-cell still life discovered by the MIT group in 1971.[4] It is produced by colliding a pi-heptomino with a boat.

For other uses of 'S', see S (disambiguation).

Commonness

Big S is the twenty-second most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than snake but more common than bi-pond.[5] It is also the twenty-nineth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[6]

gollark: Or Duck Duck Go.

gollark: Oh. On mine (completely different device) there's a hole beside the keyboard which you stick a paperclip into.

gollark: Also, what is that? Your laser control room?
