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.

BP106 Negative slope vs. positive slope.

All examples feature a white circle and a black circle. The answer refers to the slope of the line connecting the two circles.

The coloring of the circles is irrelevant.
