This sawtooth works by having a period 960 gun send glider southwest. Some are deleted and the rest reflect off the back of a 7-engine Cordership. Each returning glider deletes 2 outgoing ones.

gollark: What's "exposures"? Publicness levels?
gollark: Actually, the casing is !!INCONSISTENT!!.
gollark: Why is Me uppercased?
gollark: I think this should adequately describe our findings.
