A: copperhead
Q: Smallest known HBK

[H. H. P. M. P. Cole]

A: copperhead
Q: Smallest known HBK

A: If you mean half-block knightship, then no. There are no half-block knightships as half-block is ambiguous.

Q: How to stabilize queen bee?

A: You don't. Definitely not with a Gosper glider gun or anything. Don't look that up.

Q: Why aren't there more switch engines?

[b-engine]

Q: Why aren't there more switch engines?

A: They're actually very common. They just hit each other then degrades.
Q: Why B is very common?

[haaaaaands]

a: b: is less common than c:
(not my fault that this pun is too obvious)
q: where do deleted golly scripts go?

[confocaloid]

q: where do deleted golly scripts go?

A: deleted Golly scripts go to the unique point at infinity, where all gliders escaping in all directions collide to construct the ICT (Inverse Caber Tosser) that, once fully constructed, will expand at speed of light in all directions back from the point at infinity.

Q: What is the first known prime-period oscillator?

[unname4798]
