94P27.1, which was the smallest p27 oscillator until the current record-holder, 56P27, came along in 2010. It consists of two thumb 1s hassling two ponds and two blocks.

Code: Select all

#N 94P27.1
#O Jason Summers
#C The smallest known period 27 oscillator as of April 2009. Found in 
#C August 2005.

If one wishes to be broad, it was really this period-agnostic recovery reaction, which led to a slew of new oscillators:

x = 14, y = 12, rule = B3/S23
