COMMENTS

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).

BP384 Square number of dots vs. non-square number of dots.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are a collection of dots.


An equivalent solution is "Dots can be arranged into a square lattice whose convex hull is a square vs. not so". - Leo Crabbe, Aug 01 2020

EXAMPLE

A single dot fits because 1 = 1*1.

A pair of dots does not fit because there is no integer x such that 2 = x*x.

BP569 Triangular number of dots vs. non-triangular number of dots
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are groups of black dots.


The nth triangular number is the sum over the natural numbers from 1 to n, where n > 0. Note: 0 is the 0th triangular number. The first few triangular numbers are 0, 1, 3 (= 1+2) and 6 (= 1+2+3)

BP904 Rows show all possible ways a certain number of dots can be divided between a certain number of bins vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The rows in the panels on the right hand side show all the ways you can divide a certain number of dots between a certain number of bins, ignoring which bins they are placed in.

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.
