BP1146 Same number of dots in top row as in leftmost column vs not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This is a difficult-to-read attempt at making a Bongard Problem about perfect numbers. Grouping columns together to make rectangular arrays, each maximal (most dots possible) rectangular array of a particular height in any given example has the same number of dots in it (a perfect number, in left-sorted cases), and the dot-width of each array represents a particular divisor of that number.


It is not currently known whether there are a finite amount of examples that would be sorted left.


Every example in this Bongard Problem corresponds to a distinct natural number. There is not a way of representing the number 1 using the rules of construction for examples in this problem (if the problem were simply "Perfect number of dots vs. other number of dots", the example with 1 dot would be sorted right).

BP1148 Number of dots in the Nth box (from the left) is how many times the number (N - 1) appears in the whole diagram vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left-sorted examples are sometimes called self-descriptive sequences.

See BP1147 for a similar idea.

BP1149 was inspired by this.

This was created as an example for BP1073 (left-it versus right-it).

BP1199 The only rectangles are the individual regions and the whole vs. there is some other rectangle made of rectangles.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
CROSSREFS

All of the examples fitting left here would fit right in BP1200 except for (1) a single rectangle, (2) two rectangles stacked vertically, or (3) two rectangles side by side horizontally.


All of the examples fitting left in BP1097 (re-styled) would fit right here (besides the two possible arrangements made up of just two rectangles, but those aren't shown there).


See BP1201 for the version with triangles.

BP1200 The whole rectangle can be filled in by successively replacing pairs of adjacent rectangles with one vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Another wording: "can be repeatedly broken along 'fault lines' to yield individual pieces vs not."
