Commonness

Long shillelagh is the sixty-second most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, less common than the integral with tub but more common than trans-R-bee and R-loaf.[1] It is also the seventy-fourth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2]

Trivia

Two copies of this still life can position themselves in such a way so that they share two-fold C2_4 rotational symmetry. In this orientation, they can be considered one strict still life and fit in a 6×6 bounding box, giving the resultant still life the highest density of all still lifes fitting inside such a bounding box.

gollark: Have you ever done "long division"?
gollark: This is technically also just extracting the digits from it in base 2, I suppose.
gollark: You could do x % 2 == 0 to check for evenness, say.
gollark: It doesn't extract digits, it divides and gets the remainder.
gollark: Floor division by 10.
