COMMENTS

Bongard Problems sorted left have the keyword "unwordable" on the OEBP.


"Unwordable" does not just mean convoluted, that is, involving a long description. "Unwordable" also does not just mean hard. Unwordable Bongard Problems are instead those Bongard Problems whose solutions tend to occur to people nonverbally before verbally. The typical "unwordable" Bongard Problem solution is not too difficult to see, and may be easy to describe vaguely, but hard to pin down in language.


The solution title given on the OEBP for "unwordable" pages is often something vague and evocative, further elaborated on in the comments. For example, the title for BP524 is "Same objects are shown lined up in both 'universes' vs. the two 'universes' are not aligned." If someone said this, it would be clear they had seen the answer, even though this is not a clear description.



Bongard Problems have been sorted here based on how hard they are to put into words in English. (See keyword culture.) It may be interesting to consider whether or not the same choices would be made with respect to other languages.

COMMENTS

Right examples have the keyword "convoluted" on the OEBP.


Images of Bongard Problems with convoluted solutions often admit many alternative solutions of similar complexity. In order for one particular convoluted solution to be the simplest solution, it is often necessary to include a large number of examples. A similar issue appears in infodense Bongard Problems.


When a Bongard Problem is too convoluted, a person might find the intended answer but discount it because it seems too convoluted. A solution to a Bongard Problem is unambiguous when it is the least convoluted option by a large margin.

CROSSREFS

Related to arbitrary.

See BP374 for simple vs. complicated drawings.
