Hook w/ tail bit snake on snake and hat and block[1] is the smallest known pseudo still life that can be decomposed into four stable subpatterns (shown below), but cannot be decomposed into two or three stable subpatterns.[2] It was found by Gabriel Nivasch in July 2001. It consists of a single block surrounded by a hat, snake, and a 15-cell still life roughly made up of a snake and a hook with tail.
