P9 bouncer is a colour-changing glider reflector constructed by Matthias Merzenich in October 2018,[1] with a minimum repeat time of 27 ticks. It is Noam Elkies' standard bouncer constellation consisting of a boat, eater 1, and block, with an unusual non-domino spark provided by one half of 68P9. For colour-preserving glider reflectors see p9 bumper and the stable Snark reflector.
