Left examples have the keyword "math" on the OEBP.

Although everything is arguably related to math, these BP solutions include content that people don't inherently understand without learning at least some mathematics.

Left examples do not technically have "culturally-dependent" content (keyword culture), but knowledge and previous learning plays a role in how easy they are to solve.

Left examples have the keyword "structure" on the OEBP.

Examples of "structures": Bongard Problem, Bongard's Dozen, 4-panel analogy board, sequence of objects with a constant quantity changing from object to object that together represent the quality that is changing, sequence of objects paired with clump of n dots together representing the nth object that should come in the sequence.

If the solver hasn't become familiar with the featured structure, the Bongard Problem's solution may seem convoluted or inelegant. (See keyword assumesfamiliarity.) Once the solver gets used to seeing a particular structure it becomes easier to read that structure and solve Bongard Problems featuring it.

One can non-verbally teach someone how a particular structure works via a Bongard Problem, showing valid examples of that structure versus non-examples. E.g., BP968 for the structure of Bongard Problems and BP981 for the structure of analogy grids. (See the keyword teach.)

Left examples have the keyword "orderedtriplet" on the OEBP.

Right examples have the keyword "unorderedtriplet" on the OEBP.

An ordered triplet can be totally ordered (swapping any 2 objects would change the information being conveyed by the panel) or partially ordered (unordered pair and a 3rd object that relates to the pair).

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "both" on the OEBP.

The archetypal example is "rhombuses vs. rectangles".

Notice "rhombuses vs. rectangles" could alternatively be interpreted as "not rectangles vs. not rhombuses"; by this less natural interpretation, a square would fit on neither side (keyword neither) rather than both.

In fact, for any Bongard Problem solution "A vs. B", there are three alternative solution descriptions: "A vs. not A", "not B vs. B", and "not B vs. not A". These are not necessarily just different wordings of the same answer. For example, "rhombuses vs. not rhombuses" and "not rectangles vs. rectangles" differ on where they would sort a square. (This discrepancy between "A vs. not A" and "B vs. not B" occurs whenever "A vs. B" does not sort all relevant cases. See the keyword allsorted.)

"Is a rhombus" and "is a rectangle" are what are on the OEBP called "narrow" patterns, while "is not a rectangle" and "is not a rhombus" are not. (See keywords left-narrow and right-narrow for more explanation.)

The keywords both and allsorted are mutually exclusive.

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "neither" on the OEBP.

This keyword is for Bongard Problems for which some obviously relevant case, in the same class as the shown examples, clearly would not fit in with either of the two sides.

An example falling in the threshold between a less-than/greater-than comparison (keyword spectrum) is a special case; it is easy to view such an example as belonging on both sides (keyword both) as well as neither side.

NOTE: It might be nice to have a separate keyword for tracking these special-case spectrum-based ambiguities (because they don't quite suit the keywords "both" or "neither"). - Aaron David Fairbanks, Apr 16 2022

See also both.

The keywords "neither" and allsorted are mutually exclusive.

Usually, Bongard Problems with a case that fits neither side in a clear-cut way are precise.
