Paperclip (or drain trap[1] or S[2]) is a 14-bit still life.
Paperclip is the sixteenth most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than aircraft carrier but more common than long ship.[3]. It is also the twenty-second most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[4]
Because it usually forms from specific predecessors, the difference in frequency in asymmetric soups compared to C2_2 (the symmetry the object has) is small, although not negligible. Similarly, in rules that support the object but not its predecessors, such as HighLife, it is much less common.
