Commonness
The pond is the sixth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being slightly less common than tub and more common than ship.[2] It is also the nineth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[3]
Prepond

The Prepond.
The prepond is a common predecessor of the pond. The prepond turns into a pond in 32 Life-like rules, from B3/S23 to B378/S23678, but it dies out in HighLife. Consequently, the pond occurs more than twice as commonly in Game of Life than in HighLife.
gollark: But the question is: is it actually worth it/do we get better education out of it per $?
gollark: If you look at historical pricing of this sort of level of education, IIRC it has increased *massively* since... 40 years ago?
gollark: I like this! It plays perfectly to governments' strengths!
gollark: So is this a new economic theory of "increase government inefficiency to make the economy more economier"?
gollark: You have to pay for it through either some monetary-policy haxxx, or taxes, which take money away from good hard-working citizens*.
