Participant 1

Initial description: Complete an outline of the box from with the color that creates the three corners of the box. Use the color from the fourth corner to fill in the center of the box and most of the area to the edges following the lines of the box. If a box is colored in that area, then use that color to fill in out to the edge of the area.

Final description: I thought that this rule was to complete an outline of using the same colors indicated by the four corners, then fill in the rest of the pattern using the color from the last corner and taking any colors that were in the surface area of the fill out to the edge of the area.

Participant 6

Initial description: First, I used the majority color (light blue) of the four corners in the center of the input to create the square in the center. Then I used the minority color (pink) to create squares from the edge of the shape to the edge of the output box. I also filled in the center of the square with the pink color. Then, any colored squares that were within the pink zone were filled in from the space where the square was to the edge of the output zone using the same color as the square.

Participant 7

Initial description: The majority color that form the corners of the frame are used for the frame color. The other color corner of the frame fills the the board inside the frame with that color and radiates in 4 directions within the length and height of that frame to fill out the colors outward. Any colors caught within that shaded area are then filled only outward from that position.
