BP1146 Same number of dots in top row as in leftmost column vs not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This is a difficult-to-read attempt at making a Bongard Problem about perfect numbers. Grouping columns together to make rectangular arrays, each maximal (most dots possible) rectangular array of a particular height in any given example has the same number of dots in it (a perfect number, in left-sorted cases), and the dot-width of each array represents a particular divisor of that number.


It is not currently known whether there are a finite amount of examples that would be sorted left.


Every example in this Bongard Problem corresponds to a distinct natural number. There is not a way of representing the number 1 using the rules of construction for examples in this problem (if the problem were simply "Perfect number of dots vs. other number of dots", the example with 1 dot would be sorted right).

BP1145 Polygon that can be achieved by folding a square once vs. other polygons.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Although it is tempting at first to make a version of this Bongard Problem with the solution "Shape can be achieved by folding a square a finite amount of times vs. other shapes", this alternate Bongard Problem would just amount to having the solution "Convex shape with straight edges vs. concave shape or convex shape with at least one curved edge."

COMMENTS

Put differently, if the examples are imagined to be arrangements of rigid sticks/hoops/etc resting on a flat surface, positive examples include sticks/hoops/etc that could be picked up without disturbing the other objects.
