BP318

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.`

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."`

BP1268

Palindromic when elements are grouped into (more than one) equal-sized blocks vs. no grouping of elements into (more than one) equal-sized blocks is palindromic.

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

	COMMENTS	`Any palindrome would be sorted left, except strings of length zero or one.`

BP1273

Sequence contains each possible way its distinct elements can be arranged as a subsequence vs. not so.

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

	REFERENCE	`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation`
	CROSSREFS	`Adjacent-numbered pages: BP1268 BP1269 BP1270 BP1271 BP1272 * BP1274 BP1275 BP1276 BP1277 BP1278`
	EXAMPLE	`There are 6 ways of arranging the letters A, B and C: ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, and CBA. The string "ABCABACBA" contains each of these as a substring, and would therefore be sorted left.`
