The first Bongard Problem.

All examples in this Bongard Problem are line drawings (one or more connected figures made up of curved and non-curved lines).

BP2 Big vs. small.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The meaning of "big" left intentionally vague. There are various specific ways to define size, such as diameter, minimum distance between points on edge, and size of smallest bounding circle.

All examples in this Bongard Problem are single simple shapes, either outlines or solid black.

All examples on the same side are approximately the same size.

BP7 Taller than wide vs. wider than tall.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Bongard Problem are oblong connected figures made up of some curves.

Shapes as tall as they are wide would be ambiguous.

BP8 Positioned right vs. positioned left.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Center of shape's x coordinate is higher than zero (where zero is the middle of the picture).

All examples in this Bongard Problem are small shape outlines.

This is the first Bongard Problem in which absolute positioning is relevant.

Shapes close to the middle would be ambiguous.

BP9 Non-wiggly outline vs. wiggly outline.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Wiggly" means a high number of small concavities adjacent to one another all around the outline.

All examples in this Bongard Problem are shape outlines.

Shapes with outlines that are only wiggly within partial sections would be ambiguous. Shapes with outlines that have many medium-size concavities would be ambiguous.
