A spot-the-difference exercise.


Arguably invalid (solution not simple).

BP917 Reversible transformations vs. non-reversible transformations.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples depict a process that transforms one object into another (two example input-output pairs are provided in every panel). In left-sorted examples, each input corresponds to a unique output, whereas in right-sorted examples, different inputs could potentially lead to the same output. There is a sense in which all the processes described on the right "lose" some amount of the input's information.

BP905 Graph can be redrawn such that no edges intersect vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

A graph is a collection of vertices and edges. Vertices are the dots and edges are the lines that connect the dots. On the left, all edges can be redrawn (curved lines are allowed and moving vertices is allowed) such that no edges cross each other and each vertex is still connected to the same other vertices. These graphs are called planar.

COMMENTS

The rows in the panels on the right hand side show all the ways you can divide a certain number of dots between a certain number of bins, ignoring which bins they are placed in.
