Equal horizontal length vs. not

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

Representations of natural mathematical objects vs. representations of arbitrary objects.

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

	COMMENTS	`This is a very fuzzy definition. Some left examples arguably should be placed on the right, since the particular way they are represented is arbitrary--the Platonic solids EX6730 and primes EX6734 especially, as these show arbitrary placement and arrangement of objects. Furthermore if arbitrary representations are allowed one cannot be sure for example the right hand drawing of random numbers EX6740 does not represent "numbers" in general. Still this Bongard Problem has been solved by people.`

Polygons where all sides are different lengths vs. Polygons where not all sides are different lengths.

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

	COMMENTS	`All examples in this Problem are outlines of convex polygons.` `This is a generalisation of scalene triangles to any polygon.`
	CROSSREFS	`The left side implies the right side of BP329 (regular vs. irregular polygons), but the converse is not true.` `The left side of BP329 implies the right side, but the converse is not true.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP919 BP920 BP921 BP922 BP923 * BP925 BP926 BP927 BP928 BP929`
	EXAMPLE	`Any scalene triangle will fit on the left, because no two sides are equal.` `However, any regular polygon will not fit on the left, because all of its sides are equal.` `A random convex polygon will "almost surely" fit on the left.`
