Opposite (inverse) transformations have been applied to the same specific small square on opposite sides of the dividing line versus not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`The original pre-transformed square is the same across all examples, however it is not shown in most examples; what the pre-transformed square looks like must be deduced by the solver.`

Polygon that can be achieved by folding a square once vs. other polygons.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Although it is tempting at first to make a version of this Bongard Problem with the solution "Shape can be achieved by folding a square a finite amount of times vs. other shapes", this alternate Bongard Problem would just amount to having the solution "Convex shape with straight edges vs. concave shape or convex shape with at least one curved edge."`
