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.

BP14 All big individual figures vs. all small individual figures.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem show one or more connected figures made up of lines.

Some big shapes and some small shapes would be ambiguous.

REFERENCE

M. M. Bongard, Pattern Recognition, Spartan Books, 1970, p. 230.

CROSSREFS

BP152 is the same solution (with the sides switched), using connected shapes and without black filling.

BP1206 was created to be a slightly different version of this: "vertical axis of symmetry vs. no vertical axis of symmetry." (That less specific solution fits this Bongard Problem as well.)
