Empty square present vs. no square present.

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

	CROSSREFS	`Nearly identical to BP1221, which is the same except non-empty squares are allowed.` `See BP24 for "circle present vs. not".` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1204 BP1205 BP1206 BP1207 BP1208 * BP1210 BP1211 BP1212 BP1213 BP1214`

BP1208

More triangles left than right vs. more triangles right than left.

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

	COMMENTS	`The triangles vary in size in order to make the solution clearly about quantity, not "total mass".`

BP1207

Horizontal axis of symmetry vs. no horizontal axis of symmetry.

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

	CROSSREFS	`BP1206 is the same solution but using the vertical axis instead of the horizontal axis.` `BP1215 is the same solution but with the NW/SE diagonal instead of the vertical axis.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1202 BP1203 BP1204 BP1205 BP1206 * BP1208 BP1209 BP1210 BP1211 BP1212`

BP1206

Vertical axis of symmetry vs. no vertical axis of symmetry.

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

	COMMENTS	`The solution for this Bongard Problem is also a (less specific) solution for BP500, "vertical axis of symmetry vs. no axis of symmetry".`
	CROSSREFS	`BP1207 is the same solution but using the horizontal axis instead of the vertical axis.` `BP1215 is the same solution but with the NW/SE diagonal instead of the vertical axis.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1201 BP1202 BP1203 BP1204 BP1205 * BP1207 BP1208 BP1209 BP1210 BP1211`

BP1201

The only triangles are the individual regions and the whole vs. there is some other triangle made of triangles.

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

	CROSSREFS	`See BP1199 for the version with rectangles.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1196 BP1197 BP1198 BP1199 BP1200 * BP1202 BP1203 BP1204 BP1205 BP1206`

BP1200

The whole rectangle can be filled in by successively replacing pairs of adjacent rectangles with one vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Another wording: "can be repeatedly broken along 'fault lines' to yield individual pieces vs not."`
	REFERENCE	`Robert Dawson, A forbidden suborder characterization of binarily composable diagrams in double categories, Theory and Applications of Categories, Vol. 1, No. 7, p. 146-145, 1995.`
	CROSSREFS	`All of the examples fitting left here would fit right in BP1199 except for (1) a single rectangle, (2) two rectangles stacked vertically, or (3) two rectangles side by side horizontally.` `All of the examples fitting right in in BP1097 (re-styled) would fit right here (besides a single solid block, but that isn't shown there).` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1195 BP1196 BP1197 BP1198 BP1199 * BP1201 BP1202 BP1203 BP1204 BP1205`

BP1199

The only rectangles are the individual regions and the whole vs. there is some other rectangle made of rectangles.

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

CROSSREFS

All of the examples fitting left here would fit right in BP1200 except for (1) a single rectangle, (2) two rectangles stacked vertically, or (3) two rectangles side by side horizontally.

All of the examples fitting left in BP1097 (re-styled) would fit right here (besides the two possible arrangements made up of just two rectangles, but those aren't shown there).

See BP1201 for the version with triangles.

BP1163

Eventually blinks vs. never blinks.

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

	COMMENTS	`The intended presentation is that the animations are displayed without access to the underlying GIF files, so that there is no way to tell a dot blinks besides waiting.`
