Interchanges can be hassled, although not that many are known because the interchange doesn't expand as much as several more common sequences like the [[R-pentomino]] or [[Pi-heptomino]]. | Interchanges can be hassled, although not that many are known because the interchange doesn't expand as much as several more common sequences like the [[R-pentomino]] or [[Pi-heptomino]]. | ||

Interchange is a common constellation of six blinkers.
There are two different interchanges; the more common one is displayed to the right. The less common variant has five cells between the left and right halves instead of four.
Two gliders reflected along an axis of symmetry with an even number of rows between them form an interchange. With an odd number of rows, it becomes a bi-block instead.
| Unlike most common sequences which require only five or six cells the minimum number of cells needed to form an interchange is seven (click above to open LifeViewer) RLE: here Plaintext: here |
Hasslers
Interchanges can be hassled, although not that many are known because the interchange doesn't expand as much as several more common sequences like the R-pentomino or Pi-heptomino.
