On the Subject of Regular Hexplanations

“Hello, I would like (an|\d)\sapples? please...”

• For use by those familiar with the original manual.
• Call the initial row and column R_i and C_i respectively.
• R_f = (R_i + ([# of solvable modules] % 11 + 1)) % 12
• C_f = (C_i + (([# of batteries] + [# of indicators]) % 5 + 1)) % 6
• The four regexes are located in <R_i, C_i>, <R_i, C_f>, <R_f, C_i>, and <R_f, C_f>.
• Remember that you must start with the northwest regex first and go clockwise.
• Tip: Cycling vertices will always make them go clockwise as they appear on the module. Cycling the top face will always have the order +*.?.
• An explanation of each regex can be found in pages 2, 3, and 4.

Table 1: Regular expressions.
Some regexes are split across multiple lines in their cells.
For example, the regex in row 4, column 1 is .*[^AEIOU][^AEIOU].*.
