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: GTech™ intellectual cuboids, which are insentient because yes, can do those, though.

gollark: But what if nonsentient "apio beeoids" try and access their account?

gollark: Why not just make the PCB store all possible passwords in advance?

gollark: GTech™ simply retroactively arranges the universe such that only the authorized user ever logs in.

gollark: Ah, how secure, users will have to set their passwords every time the server restarts.
