Eleven loop (or 11-loop or long loop) is the seventy-first most common still life, being less common than long integral but more common than claw with tail.[1] On April 17, 2007 Dean Hickerson found a 4-glider synthesis of this still life.[2]

It can be considered the long version of the loop, and furthermore the long long version of the hat. An alternate analysis is to consider it derived from the mango with one "nose" replaced with two "feet". (Repeating this procedure yields the sidewalk.)
