Sep 30, 2016 at 10:52 comment added Gareth McCaughan That's why I said I didn't find it terribly convincing :-). But you never know what peculiar things people will write down while solving a problem.
Sep 30, 2016 at 10:51 comment added Maria Ivanova But what you just wrote still looks different, though. You have 2 entries per line and 4 lines. Here you have 3 on the first, 1 on the second, 3 on the third and a check mark on the fourth.
Sep 30, 2016 at 10:45 comment added Gareth McCaughan Fair enough. (If I were scribbling notes to remind myself of the solution to the puzzle described in my answer, or to help explain it to someone else, they might look like "a b (new line) ab b (new line) ab a (new line) b a". But I'll take your word for it about your imaginary colleague :-).)
