Tub with tail (or twit, originally from the acronym) is an 8-cell still life discovered by Charles Corderman and Hugh Thompson in 1971.[1][2] It is notable for its use in eater 5.
This still life is comprised of the normally stable tub with a normally unstable tail attached.
Commonness
Tub with tail is the twenty-eighth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than very long boat but more common than very long ship.[3] It is also the thirty-seventh most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[4]
Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 20 or fewer cells, as well as all oscillators and spaceships with 16 or fewer cells, are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
