Mango (or cigar or havoc) is an 8-cell still life. It can be seen as a weld of two loaves or of two beehives. It was found in 1971.

Commonness

Main article: List of common still lifes

Mango is the twelfth most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than half-bakery but more common than eater 1. Among all still lifes with 8 cells, it is the second most common, being less common than pond but more common than long barge. It is also the sixteenth most common object overall on Catagolue.

In Achim Flammenkamp's census, the mango was also ranked twelfth most common, again between the half-bakery and eater 1.

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.
