Snake is a 6-bit still life. It was discovered by the JHC group in 1970.[1]

Commonness

Snake is the twenty-first most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than boat-tie but slightly more common than big S.[2] It is also the twenty-eighth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue. It is the rarest of the five 6-bit still lifes.[3]

gollark: In what way?

gollark: 0.839PRF if you like.

gollark: 839TRF sounds cooler, I'm using that.

gollark: 0.4MJ = 1RF, right?

gollark: Ah, yes, you are right.
