(The 5th graders could do it, but they did have a helpful example first... There may be more than one solution, but I think there is ONE really good order. Can you find it?)(I should also mention that every adult I've shown this to gives up. But I only showed it to two rather grouchy teachers.)

Yeah this is harder without cards to move around and put in arrays. But I think it's still possible.

@futurebird order of what?
Make a related, transform sequence starting the first “card”? -
@futurebird order of what?
Make a related, transform sequence starting the first “card”?Imagine you have been learning to count in base 2, 3, 4 just before being asked to do this.
However, if the order can be explained with a few simple rules it's valid IMO.

@futurebird
This is a question that makes me unreasonably annoyed if not angry. Without having seen an existing order there's huge amount of possible and equally valid sollutions.Easy one is to arbitarily assign each symbol a number and read the card as base ten, e.g. first one could be 112 or 443. Then there's the question of how each value is ordered. Ascending, descending or by maybe divide them into subgroups by some arcane mathematical rule and order those someway.
Just... Reminds me of school in the Not Good way

@futurebird This was so satisfying! My text editor (KWrite) has shortcuts for moving lines up and down. That made it a lot easier.

Okay, that's the sort of context that makes it fun

□▷▷@futurebird I just kind of intuitively decided on the "values" represented by □, ▣, ■ and ▷. I wonder what that says about my way of thinking. These symbols also give me Voyager Golden Record vibes.

Ok what if I tell you
▷ is first
WRONG: □▷▷ is last
RIGHT: □□▣ is last
I think that narrows down the valid solutions a lot.
I apologize. I gave an unhelpful hint here. It's late.
(I glanced over at the incorrect list.)

@futurebird I can’t type the symbols on my phone, but I would rank the three sided open first, then the four sided open second, four sided closed third, and four sided double color highest. Then rearrange based on that from left to right and build lowest to highest.
Hopefully that makes sense lol

@futurebird i didn't really feel like i had an "a-ha" while doing this, it only felt like i had the right answer when i sorted them all and realized there were no gaps in the "base 4" ordering, that was the point at which it felt like I had a satisfying answer rather than an arbitrary one

@fell @futurebird I decided that ▷ must be 0 since it never appears leftmost in any multi-symbol card. (And there is no symbol with that property on the right.)

@futurebird I like this. When I teach people about bases, I try to break them free from the symbols having values, and we often end up having them do something in base 3 with circles, squares, and triangles.
