BP106 Negative slope vs. positive slope.

All examples feature a white circle and a black circle. The answer refers to the slope of the line connecting the two circles.

The coloring of the circles is irrelevant.

BP100 The letter A vs. the letter Б.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This is the final problem in Bongard's original collection. It is the only member of the collection that makes reference to human culture. This can be interpreted symbolically as foreshadowing that computers will be able to perform the various tasks that humans can do.


Another idea introduced by this Bongard Problem is that a Bongard Problem can teach its solution to the solver. (See keyword teach.) A large pool of examples can be used for training, as is common in machine learning.
