Super pond (or beehive at beehive at beehive at beehive or pond siamese four beehives[1]) is a 24-cell still life. It looks like a pond in an octagon II, and contains a photonegative xs15_ci5diczw11 with one more cell at the centre.

It serves as a mark of the starting block's location in slmake[2], and its predecessor is hassled in p36 shuttle.

Super pond first appeared naturally on February 17, 2023 by Charity Engine via a reaction that would normally make an O quad-loaf but gets changed by hitting two loaves.[3]
