Despite being composed of two oscillators of smaller period (4 and 5 respectively), it is considered non-trivial because it has a single cell that is alive in generation 1 and is dead in its other 19 phases.

Generation 1 reveals the single cell with period 20 (in green)
gollark: * anyway
gollark: Top 10 in your year group would be... probably top 10%, but it's not like you can measure intelligence with much precision anywya.

gollark: Anyway, bye!
gollark: Besides, it says that a link is established on the other end.
