COMMENTS

Complete graphs with zero, one, two, or three vertices would be ambiguously categorized (fit in overlap of both sides).


Left examples are called "fully connected graphs." Right examples are called "cycle graphs."

BP927 Image of Bongard Problem whose self-sorting depends on examples in it vs. image of Bongard Problem that will sort any Bongard Problem with its solution on either its left or right regardless of examples chosen.

COMMENTS

All examples are Bongard Problems fitting left or right in BP793.


All examples here are in the conventional format, i.e. white background, black vertical dividing line, and examples in boxes on either side.


Border cases are Bongard Problems that always self-sort one way given their particular visual format (e.g. fixed number of boxes), but self-sort a different way in another slightly different format.


Meta Bongard Problems appearing in BP793 that are presentationinvariant necessarily fit right here.


It is interesting to think about how this Bongard Problem sorts itself. The only self-consistent answer is that it fits right.

BP897 Wide angles connected to narrow angles vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Another solution is that right examples can be folded down flat onto one isosceles triangle while left examples cannot.

All examples in this Problem feature four isosceles triangles connected by corners and/or edges.

This was conceived as a false solution for BP898.
