BP559 Cross section of a cube vs. not cross section of a cube
?
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples are solid black shapes.


This problem is absurdly hard. It makes a good extreme example. - Aaron David Fairbanks, Nov 23 2020

BP569 Triangular number of dots vs. non-triangular number of dots
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All examples in this Problem are groups of black dots.


The nth triangular number is the sum over the natural numbers from 1 to n, where n > 0. Note: 0 is the 0th triangular number. The first few triangular numbers are 0, 1, 3 (= 1+2) and 6 (= 1+2+3)

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.

BP852 Object shown below is the "limit" of the sequence above (end result after "infinite time") versus not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

The conceptual limit of the sequence may not be the limit of the points in the image. For example in a sequence of halvings the limit value is never reached, so the bottom would never change color and thus its limit would not would not either.


Sequences progress from left to right (and there is not usually a way to intuitively extend the sequence in the other direction).
