NAME

Bongard Problems such that there is no (obvious) general method to determine a left-fitting example fits left vs. other Bongard Problems.

COMMENTS

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "left-uncertain" on the OEBP.

(Right-sorted Bongard Problems might be called "semi-decidable" in computability lingo, but this is less formal.)

No general algorithm is known for determining whether or not a tile tessellates the plane. However, we are not aware of a proof that such an algorithm is impossible. Even so, we say BP335 ("tessellates the plane vs. does not tessellate the plane") is left-verifiable, since it is, in any case, very difficult to determine some shapes go right.

A more strict (less "fuzzy" right-BP508) definition of "left-verifiable" might require us to be certain there exists no foolproof sorting method, rather than just that the average solver won't come up with one. See keyword "weakhardsort" (left-BP1125) for more on this topic.
