BP801 Number pointed to on number line is "important" mathematical constant vs. not so.

BP825 Ticks mark an infinite sequence of angles on circle such that each angle is the double of the subsequent angle in the sequence (angle measured from rightmost indicated point) vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This is solvable; it was solved by Sridhar Ramesh.


A full turn is considered "the same angle" as no turns; likewise for adding and subtracting full turns from any angle. All sequences of angles shown start at the rightmost tick.


It doesn't matter whether the angle is measured clockwise or counterclockwise, as long as the choice is consistent.

BP831 Image of a Bongard Problem with left side having two rules and right side narrowing it down vs. image of Bongard Problem whose right hand side adds no information.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Right examples are Bongard Problems in which the left hand side is enough to communicate the full answer.


No examples shown have right side with multiple rules and left side narrowing down the answer.

BP871 A reflection can switch an object's sorting vs. not so.

COMMENTS

In particular, horizontal reflections work in all left examples.

An image of this Bongard Problem would fit on the left.

BP875 Bongard Problem would sort all relevant examples vs. possible objects similar to those seen on both sides would have no clear sorting.

COMMENTS

Left examples partition a pool of objects cleanly into two classes.

BP876 Precise sorting of potential examples vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left Bongard Problems do not have to sort all relevant examples; if they would leave some border cases unsorted, it just has to be clear precisely which examples those would be.


Often a precise divide between values on a spectrum comes from intuitively "crossing a threshold." For example, there is an intuitive threshold between acute and obtuse angles. Two sides of a Bongard Problem on opposite ends of a threshold, coming close to it, are interpreted as having precise divide between sides, right up against that threshold.
