BP1258 It is possible to deduce the contents of any square from the rest vs. it is not.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

BP979 is very similar: whether a particular square can be deduced from the rest.

CROSSREFS

All examples on the left are chosen so that rotating or flipping the grid in any way would result in a grid satisfying the same rule.

BP1261 Exactly one connected white region for each possible way shapes can overlap vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

All left-sorted examples have 2^n distinct white regions (counting the background), where n is the number of shapes in the image.

Similar solution to BP1262, except there overlaps do not have to be unique.

BP1266 Angles either only increase or only decrease as one moves along the curve vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

It does not matter which end of the curve one starts from, nor which "side" angles are measured from, so long as the side is kept consistent.

BP1267 Any two lines intersect, and no three lines share an intersection point vs. not so.
(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)
COMMENTS

Left-sorted examples divide the plane into a maximal amount of disconnected white regions by a given number of "cuts". The number of regions in one of these examples will be the nth value of of the Lazy Caterer sequence ( https://oeis.org/A000124 ), where n is the number of lines.

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

This Bongard Problem is a sort of meta-problem. The problems inside the boxes aren't exactly Bongard problems, but they do deal with categorization. The objects must be split into two obvious and distinct groups, but one is not given any examples to work with.

CROSSREFS

The two sides of BP3 are the same as the two sides in the first box.
