BP1116 Contains self somewhere within any area around any point within self vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Very similar to the less clearly-defined solution "tiles itself with infinitely many copies (different sizes allowed) vs. does not".


The left hand side of this is a weaker condition than the left hand side of BP1241.

BP1138 Each attribute is shared by every group or none vs. some attribute is shared by exactly two groups
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Attributes are shading, shape, and number.

There are always three groups.

This problem is related to the card game Set.

COMMENTS

Left-sorted problems have the keyword "finishedexamples" on the OEBP.


The addition does not have to be slight.


Left-sorted Problems usually have a very specific collection of examples, where the only images sorted all show the same type of object.


Any Bongard Problem where all examples are one shape outline will be sorted left, and (almost) any Bongard Problem where all examples are one fill shape will be sorted right.

CROSSREFS

See BP1144 for the version about both additions and erasures, and only slight changes are considered.


See BP1167 for a stricter version, the condition that all examples have the same amount of black and white.

BP1145 Polygon that can be achieved by folding a square once vs. other polygons.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Although it is tempting at first to make a version of this Bongard Problem with the solution "Shape can be achieved by folding a square a finite amount of times vs. other shapes", this alternate Bongard Problem would just amount to having the solution "Convex shape with straight edges vs. concave shape or convex shape with at least one curved edge."

COMMENTS

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

CROSSREFS

See BP1147 for a similar idea.

BP1149 was inspired by this.

BP1157 The order in which the objects in the top half are combined to make the object in the lower half matters vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Operations depicted in right-sorted examples are called "commutative".


"Order matters" here means that if the objects in the top half were to switch places, the output would look different.

COMMENTS

Bongard Problems sorted left obtain the keyword "viceversa" on the OEBP.

CROSSREFS

Contrast the keyword notso.


"Viceversa" BPs are often dual.


The solution to a less-than/greater-than quantity comparison Bongard Problem (keyword spectrum) where the two sides divide the spectrum in half can be phrased as "closer to left end of spectrum than right end vs. vice versa." Whether this is a natural way to phrase the solution depends on the kind of quantity being compared.

Here are some examples of spectra for which the "vice versa" phrasing tends to seem natural: left vs. right, up vs. down, black vs. white, higher quantity of [thing type 1] vs. higher quantity of [thing type 2].
