□▷▷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 without other context we can assume that it is potentially in the correct order already, as these could be words rather than just random groups of symbols

1. I'm confused by your ordering. It's not alphabettized, and it's not a base 4 analog. That doesn't mean it's not logical, hmmm.
2. I'm impressed by the little application. What language did you use? My CS club students are making some web games and they want to do things like save scores and let users compare answers so this could work.
As such JavaScript isn't sufficent. Too client side. We've been trying PHP.I used to be a web dev but that was two decades ago.
@futurebird @c9a looking at the criteria, it’s a valid grey code, making it transformable to a base 4 ordering by reflection rules, and also transformable to a valid towers of hanoi solution
in theory. i haven’t validated any of these claims

@futurebird @c9a if valid, by “reflection rules” i mean that splitting it in half, and reversing one of the halves… then repeating on each half recursively, should result in a base4

@futurebird I think you need some additional information. In particular: do the items represent numbers (whole numbers) and, if so, is it a continuous series?

@futurebird @c9a JavaScript can be server-side with nodejs or bun or deno. I generally don't like JavaScript on the backend but it has the benefit of being the same language on the frontend and backend. PHP is still a reasonable option, and it runs easily on cheap shared hosts. There are better backend service language options (I prefer Go) but JavaScript or PHP is entirely defensible for students just learning how to do things on the web. Python is another good teaching option.

Il presidente di Confindustria Alto Adriatico Michelangelo Agrusti:
"Credo che, tra le tante cose sbagliate che ha fatto Trump nel suo primo anno di presidenza, questa cosa qui è un fatto che, se avrà successo, potrà cambiare il corso delle relazioni internazionali. Adesso era necessario colpire la testa del serpente, non serviva cercare la pistola fumante come le armi di distruzione di massa a suo tempo per l’Iraq".

L’Italia è un paese talmente fascista che i fascisti vanno in giro per il mondo come ambasciatori a rappresentare l’intera nazione, e quando qualcuno ne chiede la destituzione perché non considera degno di rappresentare la nazione chi ha un passato di militanza attiva neofascista, arriva Marina Sereni del Partito “Democratico” e respinge la richiesta, perché l’Italia è un paese talmente fascista che il Parlamento è diviso tra i fascisti, fiancheggiatori e servi sciocchi.

Draper has a little paper phone book in his wallet.
Reminded me that the most organized I've ever been in my life was when I had a little Sharp pocket organizer that I carried with me all the time. I used it for everything, phone numbers, notes, schedule. It died in a car accident and ever since I never know where I'm supposed to be.
No internet, just storage, 32 kilobytes of it. I should try that again.

di Arnoldo Mosca Mondadori – prefazione di Lettere dei bambini ai fabbricanti di armi
Le novità di cui il mondo ha bisogno nascono nei cuori degli uomini. Nel 1992, Vito Alfieri Fontana era il proprietario di un’impresa che produceva mine antiuomo.
Lo faceva da sedici anni, con ottimi risultati commerciali: aveva venduto in tutto il mondo circa 2,5 milioni di questi ordigni spaventosi, che restano sui campi di battaglia e nei territori sconvolti dalla guerra… https://cctm.website/lettere-dei-bambini-ai-fabbricanti-di-armi/

I'm sure she'll be using refunds.
