Code: Select all
x = 8, y = 8, rule = B3/S23

The usual means of adding tails doesn't work; this is the closest I could get using two copies of the least-obtrusive tail-adding mechanism I know. It's close, but needs a bit of tweaking:Extrementhusiast wrote:I must have just missed it, then. Is there any way to synthesize it from 12.121 (the one-sided version)?

Exactly! That was the point! The two tail-adding mechanisms both sort-of work; unfortunately, they interact and leave a bit of toxic debris attached to the desired object. I tried a few obvious tricks to eliminate it, but they either formed the tails incorrectly, or always left the attached debris. It's possible that some less obvious way of smashing the two beehives might work, or else using something sightly different than two beehives.Extrementhusiast wrote:Gen. 13 of that looks like an hourglass with two tails!
