Any permutation of positions that sends one string of symbols to another sends each string of symbols to some other versus not so.

	COMMENTS	`Restriction of BP841 to permutations.`

BP851

Figure with points (small white circles) can be smoothly deformed within the 2D plane without passing through itself so that all points touch to make the other figure vs. not so (movement out of the plane required).

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

	CROSSREFS	`All examples here fit left in BP369, a version where the figure is allowed to pass through itself while being deformed.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP846 BP847 BP848 BP849 BP850 * BP852 BP853 BP854 BP855 BP856`

BP897

Wide angles connected to narrow angles vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Another solution is that right examples can be folded down flat onto one isosceles triangle while left examples cannot.` `All examples in this Problem feature four isosceles triangles connected by corners and/or edges.`
	CROSSREFS	`This was conceived as a false solution for BP898.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP892 BP893 BP894 BP895 BP896 * BP898 BP899 BP900 BP901 BP902`

BP924

Polygons where all sides are different lengths vs. Polygons where not all sides are different lengths.

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

	COMMENTS	`All examples in this Problem are outlines of convex polygons.` `This is a generalisation of scalene triangles to any polygon.`
	CROSSREFS	`The left side implies the right side of BP329 (regular vs. irregular polygons), but the converse is not true.` `The left side of BP329 implies the right side, but the converse is not true.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP919 BP920 BP921 BP922 BP923 * BP925 BP926 BP927 BP928 BP929`
	EXAMPLE	`Any scalene triangle will fit on the left, because no two sides are equal.` `However, any regular polygon will not fit on the left, because all of its sides are equal.` `A random convex polygon will "almost surely" fit on the left.`
	KEYWORD	`nice, stretch, right-narrow, traditional`
	CONCEPT	`all (info \| search)`
