We construct a smooth one-periodic Hamiltonian on a closed symplectic twelve-manifold whose time-one map has fewer fixed points than the manifold's ordinary Morse number. Every fixed point is nondegenerate and has a contractible Hamiltonian trajectory. This disproves the Morse-number form of the Arnold conjecture. The deficit can be arbitrarily large among twelve-dimensional examples.
