There is more than one logical order if you want it to be like base 3
But with that restriction I think there are only two.
...
WAIT.
I gave a bad hint.
□□▣ is last.

I don't know how well this puzzle will translate to a toot. Imagine each line is on a card:
□□▷
□□□
■■

□▷▣
▣

▣▷
□□■
□▷
▣▣
□□
□
▣□
□□▣
■□
▷
□▷□
□▷■
▣■
□▷▷Put them in order.
(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.)
@futurebird Good puzzle. ‘The proof is left as an exercise for the reader.”

@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.
Funny you should mention that.

Yeah this is harder without cards to move around and put in arrays. But I think it's still possible.
@futurebird i tried copypasting into a plaintext editor but some of the line-initial "▣"s got garbled into tofu -_- -

What symbols do you like I can do find replace?

4 symbols, so maybe base-4 number system
24 "cards" so assume 0-23
Only 1 base-4 number in that range has 3 of the same digit: 111 (21). So □ must be 1.
Only 9 3-digit numbers in that range, and only 1 of them is 1 followed by 2 digits: 100 (16). So ▷ must be 0.
Digits 2 & 3 will have to wait until I get home. -

I gave you some ASCII for extra safety.

Well I feel that there is a logic to:
▷
□
■
▣But, beyond the triangle I think you can reorder the other three.

@futurebird oh wow this feels way easier

@futurebird @apophis ah i would have reversed the two last ones. But that wouldn't make a difference, would it?

@golgaloth @futurebird I hate it when the file stage1.txt is followed by stage10.txt instead of stage2.txt, but it happens
-
@futurebird oh wow this feels way easier
sorting into 3 groups by length, then sorting by first glyph in each...originally had "[" as 3 because i was thinking sloppily and figured "big string = big number" but the error was obvious once i'd sorted the [-initial 3-longs into their sequenced groups of 4 at the end and it was clearly skipping a few series
the -^ order was entirely arbitrary

@futurebird You're connecting it to your digits definitely gave me a lot, I don't know if I'd have had a first thought without it.
▷ : only ever occurs on the right side in "▷", has something to its left otherwise. So numbers go right-to-left and "▷" is 0.
□ : is the only thing that's on the right of a three-symbol sequence. So since there's only one symbol in that position, it's a 1.
That said, I think there are TWO equivent orders. You could have either removed 1 card, or added up to 7 cards, or added 9 to... maybe 38, I think, and made it unambiguous, but what was given was ambiguous:
▷
□▣
■□▷
□□□▣
□■▣▷
▣□▣▣
▣■■▷
■□■▣
■■□▷▷
□▷□□▷▣
□▷■□□▷
□□□□□▣
□□■--
The remaining symbols are "▣" and "■", and they occur entirely symmetrically. So we can use the shapes themselves to judge --
either it goes ▷, □, ▣, ■ -- filling more of the square each time,
or else it goes ▷, □, ■, ▣ -- where □+■=▣ because ▣ is "a filled square ■ in an outline □".

@futurebird ... also tho, are the cards oriented.
Because if □□▣ can alternatively be ▣□□, I haven't tried it out but I'm pretty sure that changes things.

is this alphabetized?
@futurebird You said order. I'm a writer.

Two cards that could be flipped where the last two the students fit into their pattern.
They decided that having a repeat made no sense.

@dado beh cambia istanza 😂 i sottotitoli funzionano è ovviamente un problema loro, fra l'altro non hanno nemmeno aggiornato alla versione 8 di peertube, in ogni caso su mastodon ho cambiato al volo i sottotitoli in italiano e funzionano, vedi screenshot, peertube.uno è aggiornato all'ultima versione 8.0.2 quindi è un problema di federazione di tilvids, speriamo sistemino o quantomeno aggiornino sono più di 3 mesi che è uscita la versione 8 di peertube.... @lichingyun @DarioZanette

@rvstaveren no, it's on purpose. The devs need to test the workload and understand why some caching isn't being triggered, so they also need data.
Some other (non cloned) data is on different datasets, bind-mounted inside the jails.

@stefano no concerns with prod data in dev?

Attacco all'Iran, la posizione dell'Italia. Europa si divide, chi dice no a Trump
Durante un discorso dalla base navale di Ile Longue, nella rada di Brest (Finistère), Macron ha poi annunciato che la Francia sta "progressivamente" entrando in una nuova fase della sua deterrenza nucleare, che ha descritto come "deterrenza avanzata".

@filippodb @lichingyun @DarioZanette io ho provato a vedere il video da Peertube, istanza tilvids, cliccando sul pulsante cc e selezionando i sottotitoli in italiano, ma non si vedono

Current task - cloning a prod server to a dev one:
zfs send -vRc zroot/bastille@toSend00 | mbuffer -m 2G | ssh root@VPNIP "zfs receive zroot/bastille"
Done.

@dado @lichingyun @DarioZanette su mastodon serve attivarli cliccando il pulsante cc (ok qua veramente usabilità zero) vedi screenshot.
comunque si vedono anche se però il player mi impedisce di mettere tutto a pieno schermo, non so se sia voluto per portarti nel sito peertube, cmq non è il massimo, con youtube si può mettere a pieno schermo (non in tutti però).
