(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Bongard Problems!)
BP9 Non-wiggly outline vs. wiggly outline.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Wiggly" means a high number of small concavities adjacent to one another all around the outline.

All examples in this Bongard Problem are shape outlines.

Shapes with outlines that are only wiggly within partial sections would be ambiguous. Shapes with outlines that have many medium-size concavities would be ambiguous.
