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.

BP558 Point sequence that is increasing or decreasing in height vs. point sequence that alternates in height
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are groups of 3 dots.


Any example where 2 adjacent dots have the same height would be ambiguously sorted.

CROSSREFS

Adjacent-numbered pages:
BP553 BP554 BP555 BP556 BP557  *  BP559 BP560 BP561 BP562 BP563

EXAMPLE

Reading from right to left in the first box on the left hand side: the 2nd dot is higher than the 1st, and the 3rd is higher than the 2nd, so the sequence of dots is strictly increasing in height.
