BP899 Regions in drawing (ignore background) can be coloured using three or fewer colours such that no adjacent regions are coloured the same colour vs. four colours are required.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

This Problem is related to the four colour theorem.

BP898 Can fold into tetragonal disphenoid ("isosceles tetrahedron") vs. cannot.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Which two sides are the long sides and which side is the short side, or equivalently which angles are the wider angles and which angle is the narrower angle, is the only relevant information to consider for each triangle. Triangles are all assumed isosceles and congruent to one another.


All examples in this Problem feature four of these triangles connected by corners and/or edges.

Another solution is that right examples can be folded down flat onto one isosceles triangle while left examples cannot.

COMMENTS

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

Right-sorted Bongard Problems have the keyword "presentationinvariant" on the OEBP.


Meta Bongard problems that sort Bongard Problems purely based on their solutions usually have two versions in the database: one that sorts images of Bongard Problems and one that sorts links to pages on the OEBP. If both versions exist, users should make them cross-reference one another. (Meta Bongard Problems that sort images of Bongard Problems have the keyword miniproblems, whereas meta Bongard Problems that sort links to OEBP pages have the keyword links.)


For meta-pages on the OEBP that sort other pages on the OEBP (keyword links), "presentationmatters" means factoring in content like the BP number, the currently uploaded examples, the wording of the title, the description, and so on, rather than just the solution (that is, how the page would sort all potential examples). This is unusual.


"One solution vs. multiple solutions" (BP828) seems like a border-case. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Aug 01 2020

See BP1010 (projectionmatters versus 3d) for a similar idea: there 2D representations are to 3D objects as here Bongard Problems are to Bongard Problem solutions.

BP894 Examples fit solution (once it is known) relatively obviously vs. examples fit solution in subtle or complex, harder-to-see ways.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

One left and one right example with each solution are shown for help.


This BP is fuzzy for multiple reasons. How obvious it is that an example fits a rule is subjective. Also, somebody could read the simplicity of all included examples as part of a Bongard Problem's solution. For example, the more obvious version of "square number of dots vs. non-square number of dots" could be interpreted as "square small number of dots arranged in easy-to-read way vs. non-square small number of dots arranged in easy-to-read way."


Whether this Bongard Problem solution would categorize an image of itself left or right depends on the difficulty of the solutions of the mini-Problems.

BP893 As one quantity increases an equally obvious opposite quantity decreases vs. there is only one obvious quantity, which increases as the sequence progresses right.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Another way of phrasing the solution: "Neither direction would more naturally be called increase in quantity vs. rightward progression would be called an increase."


Most right examples shown are unboundedly increasing, since finite sequences showing a quantity increasing usually also suggest "distance to end of sequence" as a decreasing opposite quantity. Even so, there are some finite sequences with one direction more intuitively increase-like than the other.

BP892 Black shapes can be arranged such that they fit inside rectangular outline vs. not so.
?
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

There is a slight ambiguity here regarding whether a shape could be placed within another shape's hole. This is a question of how one perceives the Problem: are we sliding shapes around on a table in 2D or are we allowed to 'lift' them in 3D space?
