The broken elevener is a 12-cell still life.

Glider synthesis

The broken elevener is the most common 12-cell still life without a known 5-glider synthesis; the cheapest known recipe requires six gliders.

Occurrence

Among still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 29th most common still life according to Catagolue.

There are no collisions in octohash, octo3obj or octo3g databases with this still life occurring in the ash.
