BP559 Cross section of a cube vs. not cross section of a cube
?
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples are solid black shapes.


This problem is absurdly hard. It makes a good extreme example. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Nov 23 2020

BP569 Triangular number of dots vs. non-triangular number of dots
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are groups of black dots.


The nth triangular number is the sum over the natural numbers from 1 to n, where n > 0. Note: 0 is the 0th triangular number. The first few triangular numbers are 0, 1, 3 (= 1+2) and 6 (= 1+2+3)

BP902 This Bongard Problem vs. anything else.

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

Although this Bongard Problem is self-referential, it's only because of the specific phrasing of the solution. "BP902 vs. anything else" would also work. The number 902 could have been chosen coincidentally.

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

Complete graphs with zero, one, two, or three vertices would be ambiguously categorized (fit in overlap of both sides).


Left examples are called "fully connected graphs." Right examples are called "cycle graphs."

BP988 Number of dots is a power of 2 vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Numbers of dots on the left can be obtained by repeatedly doubling 1 dot.

Numbers of dots on the left are the number of corners of a cube in some dimension.
