Tub with long tail is a 9-cell strict still life. It was found by Robert Wainwright in 1972, and was one of the last 9-bit still lifes to be reported.[1]

This still life is comprised of the normally stable tub with a normally unstable long tail attached.

It can be substitutively referred to as the shillelagh with tub, with the pre-block of the shillelagh replaced with a tub, however "tub with long tail" is usually preferred for this object.

Occurrence

See also: List of common still lifes, Most common objects on Catagolue

Tub with long tail is the sixty-seventh most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than beehive at loaf but more common than loaf siamese loaf.[2]

It is the 67th most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than long integral but more common than cis-bookend and bun. It is the 7th most common still life with 9 cells, being less common than long shillelagh but more common than long canoe.[3]

Glider synthesis

Main article: Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.

In other rules

Tub with long tail is almost 21 times as common in Grounded Life (B35/S23) as it is in Life.
