Initial description: Locate the light blue square that contains three rows of light blue squares. Starting from the middle square on top, color yellow the two black squares above it. Then color yellow the two black square to the right. Keep this going creating a zig zag, but stop the moment there is a gray square in the way. Continue this process for each side of the square, as if rotated clockwise. Lastly, at each corner of the blue square, color in each black square diagonal from it until a gray square is in the way.

Participant 8

Initial description: Red from the corners of the black box until it hits either a gray block or the edge of the field, and then yellow from the centers of the box until it hits a yellow.

Final description: I noticed that yellow required two up and three across. It has to go till it can't go in the direction of the next sequence because of the edge of the map or a grey box. You're basically making a pinwheel pattern.
