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: "I respect your opinion" can probably just be added to the very long list of "basically meaningless filler English".

gollark: "I acknowledge the existence of your opinion."

gollark: Yeeeeees, very fuζζy.

gollark: What does that *mean*, exactly, more specifically?

gollark: That is a valid preference, I think.
