p5 quinti-Snark is a period-quintupling 180-degree reflector discovered by Tanner Jacobi on October 30, 2018[1], using a HW volcano as its sparker.

Even though it contains a period-5 oscillator, it can quintuple the period of glider streams of any (sufficiently large) period; the oscillator is only involved in processing every fifth glider. This makes the reflector more versatile than the quinti-Snarks of any other period. Different choices of period-5 sparker are useful for fitting this into different geometries, as exemplified by various period-5N guns in Chris Cain's updated version of Dieter and Peter's glider gun collection.

gollark: These ones are weird.

gollark: Something like that?

gollark: Assuming my assumptions are correct, I mean.

gollark: Problem is that while the increase will be slowed, the price will, for a while anyway, be at 100 shards above the limit of affording it.
