BP359 Random arrangement of pixels vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

By "random" we mean it's reasonable to expect each pixel in the image was chosen with a constant, consistent chance of being black or white.

BP365 Two independent quantities changing simultaneously vs. determined by just one changing quantity.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Examples sorted right may feature multiple quantities, but one changing quantity determines all changing quantities.


The distinction between the two sides is fuzzy. For example the left-sorted example EX4364 could be viewed as determined by just the one changing quantity of width and the fact that the height is given by two times the width minus one. On the other hand the right-sorted example EX4370 could be viewed as determined by the two changing quantities number of black squares and number of white squares, ignoring the fact that the total number of squares is always six.

BP384 Square number of dots vs. non-square number of dots.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are a collection of dots.


An equivalent solution is "Dots can be arranged into a square lattice whose convex hull is a square vs. not so". - Leo Crabbe, Aug 01 2020

Adjacent-numbered pages:
BP379 BP380 BP381 BP382 BP383  *  BP385 BP386 BP387 BP388 BP389

EXAMPLE

A single dot fits because 1 = 1*1.

A pair of dots does not fit because there is no integer x such that 2 = x*x.
