BP898 Can fold into tetragonal disphenoid ("isosceles tetrahedron") vs. cannot.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Which two sides are the long sides and which side is the short side, or equivalently which angles are the wider angles and which angle is the narrower angle, is the only relevant information to consider for each triangle. Triangles are all assumed isosceles and congruent to one another.


All examples in this Problem feature four of these triangles connected by corners and/or edges.

BP899 Regions in drawing (ignore background) can be coloured using three or fewer colours such that no adjacent regions are coloured the same colour vs. four colours are required.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This Problem is related to the four colour theorem.

BP905 Graph can be redrawn such that no edges intersect vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

A graph is a collection of vertices and edges. Vertices are the dots and edges are the lines that connect the dots. On the left, all edges can be redrawn (curved lines are allowed and moving vertices is allowed) such that no edges cross each other and each vertex is still connected to the same other vertices. These graphs are called planar.
