Participant 1
Initial description: Output is the section of the grid blocked in light blue, which can be determined because the pattern is reflected on the x and y axis.
Final description: Output is the section of the grid blocked in light blue, which can be determined because the pattern is reflected on the x and y axis.
Participant 2
Initial description: Trying to follow the pattern
Final description: No idea
Participant 3
Initial description: Provide a color pattern that was exact to the picture provided.
Final description: I thought the rule was to replicate the design on the example Input 3. For example, seeing a square in that picture of one color, meant to find the square in my test input of another color, and make output that color.
Participant 4
Initial description: flipped vertically
Final description: Flip it horizontally
Participant 5
Initial description: To select a random portion that is 4 wide near the edge and copy paste it.
Final description: To mirror the solution but the colors are different on this side its impossible
Participant 6
Initial description: Look through the test input for similar yellow/orange start patterns and follow the colors downwards.
Final description: I thought it was finding a similar pattern on the grid and just copying it.
Participant 7
Initial description: The pale blue section should be changed to match example 3
Final description: I was supposed to do a mirror image of the pattern in the pale blue grid using the pattern at the opposite side.
Participant 8
Initial description: Copy from input to save time
Final description: I have no solution. I thought to copy the cells one by one.
Participant 9
Initial description: I know the light blue squares determine the height and width of the output, and it's some kind of reflection of the other side. But I felt I was missing the information to fill in all the tiles.
Final description: I know the first part of the rule is that the section of light blue squares tells the height and width of the output. I also knew that the right side was meant to be a reflection of the left side. The test input I got just didn't make it clear to me how to reflect, because I thought all the pieces/colors were already used.
