(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Bongard Problems!)
BP8 Positioned right vs. positioned left.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Center of shape's x coordinate is higher than zero (where zero is the middle of the picture).

All examples in this Bongard Problem are small shape outlines.

This is the first Bongard Problem in which absolute positioning is relevant.

Shapes close to the middle would be ambiguous.
