Block on table is a 10-bit still life.

Commonness

Main article: List of common still lifes

Block on table is the thirty-fourth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than moose antlers but more common than block on dock.[1] It is also the forty-fourth most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[2]

It is the most common still life where a block stabilizes an unstable pattern, being barely ahead of the block on dock.

Noah's ark produces blocks on tables along with many common objects.

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.
