COMMENTS

Rhetorical question: Where does this Bongard Problem sort an image of itself?

See BP999 and BP1004 for similar paradoxes.

"BONGARD HELL."

This the flipped version of BP793 but using only images of Bongard Problems with solution "__ half more black/less white than other half versus vice versa," that all use rotated, reflected, and inverted versions of the same examples.

CROSSREFS

See BP971 (left vs. right more black) and BP972 (top vs. bottom more black).

BP827 Image of noisy Bongard Problem vs. image of Bongard Problem with minimal noise.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Noise" is a property that changes between examples which is independent to the solution property.

See BP511 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems (miniproblems).

See BP845 for noise in sequences of quantity increase.

BP829 Image of a Bongard Problem with no simple solution versus image of a Bongard Problem with a simple solution.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left examples have no solution, but they do not break the rules in ways so extreme that it is plainly impossible for them to have a solution, such as including the same image on both sides or including no images per side. (See such as including the same image on both sides or including no images per side.

CROSSREFS

See BP522 for the version with links to pages on the OEBP instead of images of Bongard Problems (miniproblems).

See BP968 (flipped) for a version of this Bongard Problem including examples of invalid Bongard Problems that don't even admit a convoluted solution (the same image appears on both sides).

Also see BP1080, which is similar to BP968, but including various different formats of Bongard Problems, distinguishing them from arbitrary images that are not Bongard Problems.

BP830 Image of a Bongard Problem with left side a "positive" property and right side the "negative" property versus vice versa.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left: the left hand side is enough to communicate the answer; the left pattern can be seen without the counterexamples on the right.

Right: the right hand side is enough to communicate the answer; the right pattern can be seen without counterexamples on the left.


Flipping a BP will switch its sorting.


The following is taken from the comments on page BP513 (keyword left-narrow):

Call a pattern "narrow" if it is likely to be noticed in a collection of examples, without any counterexamples provided.

A collection of triangles will be recognized as such; "triangles" is a narrow pattern. A collection of non-triangular shapes will just be seen as "shapes"; "not triangles" is not narrow.

Narrow patterns tend to be phrased positively ("is [property]"), while non-narrow patterns opposite narrow patterns tend to be phrased negatively ("is not [property]").

CROSSREFS

See keywords left-narrow and right-narrow.
