Solutions to teukon's Draft Regex Golf Bonus Levels (SPOILERS! SPOILERS!) and discussion of mathematical regexes
Continued discussion of Regex Golf Bonus Levels and mathematical regexes (SPOILERS! SPOILERS!)
Please let me know if you find any errors here, or can fill in any of the missing data.
Timestamps are in UTC. Be careful when following GitHub comment links – spoilers may be seen for other levels.
If I manage to discover solutions matching the unpublished high-score holders in length, I'm leaning towards publishing them here only as md5sums, so as not to further taint the high-score lists on Regex Golf.
There are some very wide tables below, which are uncomfortably constrained by the GitHub frameworks CSS. So I would suggest using a browser plugin to override the style with gist-wide.css.

If the domain of Glob must be stated in a single regex, it would be:
^([a-z]*)\*?([a-z]*)\*?([a-z]*)\*?([a-z]*) matches \1[a-z]*\2[a-z]*\3[a-z]*\4$
However, it may actually have 4 domains:
^([a-z]*)\*([a-z]+)\*([a-z]*) matches \1[a-z]*\2[a-z]*\3$
^\*([a-z]+)\*([a-z]+)\* matches [a-z]+\1[a-z]+\2[a-z]+$
(left only)

I am actually working on a Teukon compilation just like I did for Classic, and will follow that up with Holiday as well. But the solutions that aren't public, I will publish as hashes (md5sum or otherwise)... unless you give me a convincing argument to publish everything in the clear :-) The thing holding me back from doing so is the leaderboard. Back when I discussed the Classic level set on a github gist (when it was the only level set, thus not called Classic) there was no public leaderboard. Now there is, and it's filled with people who just copied the best published solution. If the leaderboard had timestamps, that'd be much less of a problem, and I'd be much more willing to publish.
Good luck with Quine! It's actually not nearly as hard as it seems at first... look closely at the test cases. There's a very predictable pattern to them. But I feel ya. I got so frustrated with it, that to get my first working solution, I cheated and modified an existing regex quine I found on the web to work for this problem. And then when I realized that the pattern in the test cases could be exploited, I kicked myself for not trying harder to do it entirely on my own. I did have a lot of fun with it, and found a wide variety of solutions and cataloged them (of which there are two distinct families, not even counting strict quines like the one I used at first... and perhaps a third which would be much harder to do, if possible). Beware, whatever method you use to solve it Quine, once you do, don't give in to the temptation of clicking the [spoiler] tag. It's much more fun to come upon that particular technique on your own.
And yep, I enjoyed reading your 2015 gist post and wiki article back in 2018 :-)
