BP1267 Any two lines intersect, and no three lines share an intersection point vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left-sorted examples divide the plane into a maximal amount of disconnected white regions by a given number of "cuts". The number of regions in one of these examples will be the nth value of of the Lazy Caterer sequence ( https://oeis.org/A000124 ), where n is the number of lines.

BP1266 Angles either only increase or only decrease as one moves along the curve vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

It does not matter which end of the curve one starts from, nor which "side" angles are measured from, so long as the side is kept consistent.

Similar solution to BP1261, except overlaps do not have to be unique.

BP1261 Exactly one connected white region for each possible way shapes can overlap vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All left-sorted examples have 2^n distinct white regions (counting the background), where n is the number of shapes in the image.

All examples on the left are chosen so that rotating or flipping the grid in any way would result in a grid satisfying the same rule.

BP1257 The rule is about squares having a certain relationship with their neighbors vs. it is not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

"Local vs. global."


For clarity, rules involving diagonal neighbors or squares more than one step away are never used.


The similar solution "Each square can be deduced from its neighbors vs. not so" does not quite work; for example EX8114 would then not fit left. See also BP1258 ("Each square can be deduced from the rest vs. not so").
