In the process of surveying Rule 22, the following table of cycles N (row number) versus periods P (column number) was found. In counting the number of rings with each period, the zero ring was discounted because it occurs for every value of N; likewise a ring was not repeated if its period was a proper divisor of P, nor was redundancy due to shifting or reflection included (thus it is a table of cycle classes).

In addition, there were many cycles in the range
with
longer periods than convenient for a table, which are listed below.
