BP989 Number of dots is n factorial for some n vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Zero is intentionally left out to avoid confusion (although it would fit right).

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.

BP987 Solution could appear in a Bongard Problem featuring an image of itself on either of its sides vs. solution can appear in a Bongard Problem featuring an image of itself on a certain side only.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples are Bongard Problems fitting left in BP954.


This is very close to BP927, specialized to Bongard Problems fitting left in BP954. The difference is that a Bongard Problem solution would fit left in BP927 but right here if it can sort images of it on both sides, but it is impossible to make an image of it fractally including itself on a certain side. An example is EX7997.


Meta Bongard Problems appearing in BP793 that are presentationinvariant necessarily fit right here.

BP986 Palindromes vs. not palindromes.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are sequences of graphic symbols. In this Problem, a "palindrome" is taken to be an ordered sequence which is the same read left-to-right as it is read right-to-left. A more formal solution to this Problem could be: "Sequences which are invariant under a permutation which swaps first and last entries, second and second last entries, third and third last entries, ... and so on vs. sequences which are not invariant under the aforementioned permutamation."

BP981 Grid of analogies vs. different kind of rule.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

On the left, each row and column could be labeled by a certain object or concept; on the right this is not so.


More specifically: on the left, each row and each column is associated with a certain object or concept; there is a rule for combining rows and columns to give images; it would be possible without changing the rule to extend with new rows/columns or delete/reorder any existing columns. On the right, this is not so; the rule might be about how the images must relate to their neighbors, for example.


All examples show grids of squares with an image in each square, such that there is some "rule" the images within the grid obey.


Left examples are a generalized version of the analogy grids seen in BP361. Any analogy a : b :: c : d shown in a 2x2 grid will fit on the left here.


To word the solution with mathematical jargon, "defines a (simply described) map from the Cartesian product of two sets vs. not so." Another equivalent solution is "columns (alternatively, rows) illustrate a consistent set of one-input operations." It is always possible to imagine the columns as inputs and the rows as operations and vice versa.


There is a trivial way in which any example can be interpreted so that it fits on the left side: imagine each row is assigned the list of all the squares in that row and each column is assigned its number, counting from the left. But each grid has a clear rule that is simpler than this.

CROSSREFS

BP1258 is a similar idea: "any square removed could be reconstructed vs. not." Examples included left here usually fit left there, but some do not e.g. EX9998.


See BP979 for use of similar structures but with one square removed from the grid.
