BP829 Image of a Bongard Problem with no simple solution versus image of a Bongard Problem with a simple solution.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples have no solution, but they do not break the rules in ways so extreme that it is plainly impossible for them to have a solution, such as including the same image on both sides or including no images per side. (See such as including the same image on both sides or including no images per side.

CROSSREFS

See BP522 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems (miniproblems).

See BP968 (flipped) for a version of this Bongard Problem including examples of invalid Bongard Problems that don't even admit a convoluted solution (the same image appears on both sides).

Also see BP1080, which is similar to BP968, but including various different formats of Bongard Problems, distinguishing them from arbitrary images that are not Bongard Problems.
