Scorpion (or curl tie bun) is a 16-bit still life. It appears at generation 4761 of Bunnies, lasting for over 400 generations.

Commonness

Scorpion is the thirty-ninth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than beehive with tail but more common than loop.[1] It is also the fourty-sixth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2]

On April 7, 2007 Dean Hickerson found a 4-glider synthesis of this still life.[3]

gollark: "It has no flaws, since it doesn't have flaws"?

gollark: I see. I don't think it's just a thing of "they would agree with me if they had more information".

gollark: I didn't actually say that. I'm not sure what you're agreeing with.

gollark: No, I mean you said you would ignore metadiscussion outside it.

gollark: You could express opinions and discuss things *anyway*, see.
