Most visual BPs will be sorted left by this problem, as examples usually have white backgrounds by default.

COMMENTS

Left-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "problemkiller" on the OEBP.


An example could be unsortable because it does not conform to the format of all the examples in the Bongard Problem, or it could be formatted like the other examples but be treated ambiguously by the solution. It seems the Bongard Problems currently labeled "problemkiller" mostly deal with examples becoming unsortable because they no longer conform to the format. (The examples become unsortable because they leave the "world" of the Bongard Problem. See https://www.oebp.org/world.php .) - Aaron David Fairbanks, Jun 15 2023

CROSSREFS

"Problemkiller" Bongard Problems are notso Bongard Problems.


See keyword invariance, which is about transformations making some example switch sides rather than transformations making all examples unsortable.

Not all visual Bongard Problems whose examples all have some amount of black in them are sorted left. In left-sorted BPs, there must be some concrete percentage of black that is exceeded by every sorted example.

Left-sorted Problems often have a specific format or deal with specific geometric shapes.


Almost any Problem that sorts the all-white or all-black panels will be sorted right.

COMMENTS

Bongard Problems sorted left obtain the keyword "viceversa" on the OEBP.

CROSSREFS

Contrast the keyword notso.


"Viceversa" BPs are often dual.


The solution to a less-than/greater-than quantity comparison Bongard Problem (keyword spectrum) where the two sides divide the spectrum in half can be phrased as "closer to left end of spectrum than right end vs. vice versa." Whether this is a natural way to phrase the solution depends on the kind of quantity being compared.

Here are some examples of spectra for which the "vice versa" phrasing tends to seem natural: left vs. right, up vs. down, black vs. white, higher quantity of [thing type 1] vs. higher quantity of [thing type 2].
