Bongard puzzles are pretty much the same as the test matrices in IQ tests, which annoy me in the exact same way these Bongard puzzles do. If you'd ask people questions in the same manner these puzzles do, they would refuse to answer because they'd feel trolled. Arguably, that's the case.

They're closely related to Raven's Progressive Matrices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven%27s_Progressive_Matrices which are indeed the source for IQ tests. But the point of this all is that rationality works within a frame; Bongard games are just an illustration that the real problem of meaning and choice and acting in the world is the not-rational one of choosing a framing.
