COMMENTS
|
All examples in this Problem are solid concave black shapes. In this Problem, the "cavities" of a concave shape are defined to be the convex hull of the shape minus the shape itself. For example, if you take a bite out of the edge of a piece of paper, the piece of paper in your mouth is the cavity of the bitten piece of paper. The idea may be indefinitely extended, considering whether the cavities of the cavities are concave or convex, and so on. |

COMMENTS

More specifically these solids are polyhedra, and are often called "space-filling".
There is ambiguity here regarding some nets that can be folded to make multiple different solids. For example EX8175 could correspond to a cuboid with a pyramid-like protrusion at each end, a protrusion at one end and an indent at the other, or 2 indents. Only the second of these options can tessellate 3D space. For clarity's sake examples like this are not sorted on either side. |

Right:
All are "all but one are ___"; all but one are black.
All are "every other is ___"; every other is solid polygons.
All are "gradually becoming ___"; gradually becoming thickly outlined.
Left:
All but one are "all but one are ___".
Every other is "every other is ___".
Gradually becoming "gradually becoming ___".
Here is another way of putting it:
Call it "meta" when the whole imitates its parts, and call it "doubly-meta" when the whole imitates its parts with respect to the way it imitates its parts. Left are doubly-meta, while right are just meta.
Here is a more belabored way of putting it:
Call something like "is star-shaped" a "rule". An object can satisfy a rule.
Call something like "all but one are ___" a "rule-parametrized rule". A collection of objects can satisfy a rule-parametrized rule with respect to a particular rule.
On the right: every collection fits the same rule-parametrized rule (with respect to various rules); furthermore the collection of collections fits that same rule-parametrized rule (with respect to some unrelated rule that collections can satisfy).
On the left: The collection of collections fits a rule-parametrized rule with respect to the rule of fitting that rule-parametrized rule (with respect to various rules).
Previously, an unintended solution to this BP was "not all groups share some noticeable property vs. all do." It is hard to come up with examples foiling this alternative solution because the rule-parametrized rule (see explanation above) usually has to do with not all objects in the collection fitting the rule. (See BP568, which is about BP ideas that are always overridden by a simpler solution.) The example EX10108 "all five are 'all five are ___'" was added, foiling the alternative solution. |

EXAMPLE
|
"Odd one out with respect to what property is the odd one out" would not fit left: even though this example does seem doubly-meta, it is not doubly-meta in the right way. There is no odd one out with respect to the property of having an odd one out.
Similarly, consider "gradual transition with respect to what the gradual transition is between", etc. Instead of having the form "X 'X __' ", this is more like "X [the __ appearing in 'X __']". Examples like these two could make for a different Bongard Problem. |
