Commonness

The quadpole is the eighth most common oscillator in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than the bipole but more common than the great on-off.[1] Despite behaving the same in Life as they do in HighLife, they are only about 2% as common.

gollark: Bees are the enemy.
gollark: Paliaigolaosgioaisgos or whatever (cannot transliterate greek fast) was declared bees before for other reasons, I think.
gollark: <@!358508089563021317>, <@!341618941317349376> and <@356107472269869058>. They argued something ridiculous like "but it's fine if we only look up the information if we allegedly don't give anyone it!"
