BP341

Strictly increasing or strictly decreasing border line vs. both increasing and decreasing border line.

BP344

Shape can tile itself vs. shape cannot tile itself.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Left examples are sometimes called "rep-tiles."` `The tiles all must be the same size. More specifically, all left examples can tile themselves only using scaled down and rotated versions of themselves with all tiles the same size. Right examples cannot tile themselves using scaled down rotated versions of themselves or even reflected versions of themselves with all tiles the same size.` `Without the puzzle piece-like shape EX4120 on the right side the current examples also allow the solution "shape can tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram vs. shape cannot tile with itself so as to create a parallelogram."`
	CROSSREFS	`See BP532 for a version with fractals.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP339 BP340 BP341 BP342 BP343 * BP345 BP346 BP347 BP348 BP349`

All points (small white circles) on one figure can be glued together to make the other figure vs. not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	CROSSREFS	`See BP851 for a version where the figure must stay within the 2D plane and cannot pass through itself while being deformed.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP364 BP365 BP366 BP367 BP368 * BP370 BP371 BP372 BP373 BP374`

BP384

Square number of dots vs. non-square number of dots.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`All examples in this Problem are a collection of dots.` `An equivalent solution is "Dots can be arranged into a square lattice whose convex hull is a square vs. not so". - Leo Crabbe, Aug 01 2020`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP379 BP380 BP381 BP382 BP383 * BP385 BP386 BP387 BP388 BP389`
