BP213 The tightest-curved section, out of all sections of curve that make a complete turn (360 degrees), contains an x-crossing point vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples are connected smooth curves allowed to self-intersect that must curve in only one direction (starting at one end, either clockwise or counter-clockwise), i.e. there is no inflection point.

BP825 Ticks mark an infinite sequence of angles on circle such that each angle is the double of the subsequent angle in the sequence (angle measured from rightmost indicated point) vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This is solvable; it was solved by Sridhar Ramesh.


A full turn is considered "the same angle" as no turns; likewise for adding and subtracting full turns from any angle. All sequences of angles shown start at the rightmost tick.


It doesn't matter whether the angle is measured clockwise or counterclockwise, as long as the choice is consistent.

BP973 Transitive vs. non-transitive relations between the red and blue circles.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Each example in this Bongard Problem consists of mini-panels containing the same arrangement of circles (ignoring colouring). Each mini-panel has a single circle highlighted in red, and possibly some circles highlighted in blue. A strict rule for this Bongard Problem could be something like "If a circle is blue in one mini-panel and red in a second mini-panel, then there are no blue circles in the second mini-panel that weren't already blue in the first mini-panel." The relation interpretation is that a circle is related to the red circle if and only if it is coloured blue.
