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).

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.

BP335 Tessellates the plane vs. does not tessellate the plane.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

EX7152 is an example of a shape than can be stretched in such a way that it no longer tessellates the plane. This is a property that is only exhibited by shapes that tessellate with rotated copies of themselves. - Leo Crabbe, Mar 05 2021
