BP1276 Ways of representing the sequence "ABABCBACCBAC" by grouping its elements into equal-sized blocks and relabelling them (identical blocks are represented by the same element) vs. representations of different sequences.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The solver isn't expected to word their solution as it is put above, but to notice that the sequences on the left all "agree" with each other under the aforementioned grouping rule. The 12-element sequence in EX10249 can be "squashed down" into the 6-element sequence in EX10251, which in turn can be "squashed down" into the 3-element sequence in EX10252.

BP1275 There is a way of grouping elements into (more than one) equal-sized blocks such that no block appears twice vs. there exists no such grouping.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Sequences with a prime number of elements are sorted left when all their elements are unique, and sorted right otherwise.

The sequence ABBABB would be sorted left, as it could be grouped into (AB)(BA)(BB), where each block is unique.

There are 6 ways of arranging the letters A, B and C: ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, and CBA. The string "ABCABACBA" contains each of these as a substring, and would therefore be sorted left.

COMMENTS

Left-sorted examples divide the plane into a maximal amount of disconnected white regions by a given number of "cuts". The number of regions in one of these examples will be the nth value of of the Lazy Caterer sequence ( https://oeis.org/A000124 ), where n is the number of lines.

It does not matter which end of the curve one starts from, nor which "side" angles are measured from, so long as the side is kept consistent.

COMMENTS

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


A Problem is sorted left if its examples typically multiple objects, and the solution pertains to the way properties of the objects interrelate. If the positions of objects are relevant to the solution (see "sequence" Problems: BP929), then the Problem is sorted right.
