The result is a large spark that is very #D similar to an escaping glider, but has an extra cell that soon causes it #D to vanish. I've seen nothing similar in Life, where it's very hard to get any #D effect out of a glider without destroying it in the process. #D #D Paul Callahan, November 1997 #L A$3.A$3.A$3.A$..AA3$.AA$.AA$.A.A$AA..A$.6A$3.A.A$4.A
