Participant 5
Initial description: Fill the perimeter of a board that is the same size as the test input in blue and fill in lines of blue horizontally and vertically, skipping every other column/row.

Participant 6
Initial description: Leave a border of blue squares, every other row fill every other square black starting with the second one.

Participant 7
Initial description: The rule is to make the the outline blue, and then to make one row blue and black 1 by 1 followed by one raw all blue and so on.

Participant 8
Initial description: The output is filled with blue, but 1x1 black squares that don't touch each other are left in the center.

Participant 11
Initial description: The second row and then increments of two has its second spot and increments of two is kept black. The rest are colored blue.

Participant 13
Initial description: the black squares seem add or subtract based on the grid's height and width.

Participant 14
Initial description: Create border with blue color and then alternating vertical and horizontal blue lines.
Final description: Create border with blue color and then alternating vertical and horizontal blue lines.

Participant 15
Initial description: This one was simple and straightforward. The height and width of the input matches the height and width of the output. Then, I filled the output with blue, and followed the pattern to have a blue row in between each black box, dotting black boxes where appropriate.
