Image of repeating wallpaper with only 3-fold rotational symmetries versus image of repeating wallpaper with some other symmetries.

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

	COMMENTS	`Left examples have wallpaper symmetry group p3 (a.k.a. 333).`

BP809

Figures can be transformed into one another by smooth stretching (before and after there are the same crossroad-points; there is a curve connecting points before if and only if there is a curve connecting those points after) vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Left examples are topologically homeomorphic figures.` `For some examples one can imagine pulling the shape "out of" the 2d square in 3d in order to transform it, and then laying it flat back in the 2d square. See BP810 for the version where this is not allowed.`

BP810

Figures can be transformed into one another by smooth stretching (intersection points stay constant; paths connecting those points remain), while remaining within the 2d box vs. movement out of the plane required.

	CROSSREFS	`All examples here fit left in BP809, a version where the figures are allowed to pass through themselves while being deformed.` `Adjacent-numbered pages: BP805 BP806 BP807 BP808 BP809 * BP811 BP812 BP813 BP814 BP815`

Archimedean tiling (regular polygons, all vertices look the same) versus two-uniform tiling (regular polygons, two different kinds of vertex).

BP813

Representations of natural mathematical objects vs. representations of arbitrary objects.

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

	COMMENTS	`This is a very fuzzy definition. Some left examples arguably should be placed on the right, since the particular way they are represented is arbitrary--the Platonic solids EX6730 and primes EX6734 especially, as these show arbitrary placement and arrangement of objects. Furthermore if arbitrary representations are allowed one cannot be sure for example the right hand drawing of random numbers EX6740 does not represent "numbers" in general. Still this Bongard Problem has been solved by people.`

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.`

BP847

Evokes the idea of symmetry vs. not so.

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

	COMMENTS	`Or, perhaps more concretely, "Depiction of object with some symmetry (invariance under transformation) vs. depiction of object with no simple symmetries."`

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).
