Runny nose is a period-3 oscillator found by ConwayLife forums user 83bismuth38 on 5 March 2017.[1] It is notable due to its small size, at 21 cells, which surprised many due to it not being found earlier, and as such it fills in gaps in oscillator collections.
Runny nose is technically the first example of a p3 pipsquirter, as well as the smallest pipsquirter of any period. However, due to a lack of clearance, it is not particularly useful in this regard.[2]
Tanner Jacobi and iNoMed found an 18-glider synthesis of this oscillator on July 26, 2021.[3] iNoMed reduced this to 17 gliders on October 4.[4]
