Participant 1

Initial description: starting from red cluster of squares build a line of the same size orange squares connecting as many blue squares as possible, but ensuring the corner squares are always blue ones

Final description: starting from red cluster of squares build a line of the same size orange squares connecting as many blue squares as possible, but ensuring the corner squares are always blue ones


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 2

Initial description: Copy the grid exactly as the it is in the test input. Connect the red square to the closest blue square using a straight orange line. If you are not able to connect the closest blue blue box with a straight line, skip that one and look for the blue box that can be connected with a straight line. Then, from that blue box, connect the next blue box on a straight line. Skip any boxes that cannot be connected on a straight line.

Participant 3

Initial description: Connect the red and then blue squares using orange squares only if there is another blue square directly in line with the current blue square

Final description: Connect the current blue square with the next closest blue square only if that square is in line with the current square


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 4

Initial description: Start at the red square and fill same size squares orange to connect to blue square, repeat while keeping in line with blue squares.

Final description: Start at the red square and fill same size squares orange to connect to blue square, repeat while keeping in line with blue squares.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 5

Initial description: Create a pattern where the red square is connected to the nearest blue squares using orange squares, forming a path. The orange squares are used to connect the red and blue squares by moving only horizontally or vertically, creating a continuous path while leaving the other blue squares in their original positions.

Participant 7

Initial description: tried to match pattern.

Final description: I have ADHD, this is basically impossible for me.

Participant 8

Initial description: create a line from the red box only going at right angles as far as you can.

Final description: Connect the blue squares with an orange line only using right angles starting with the closest blue square.


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Incorrect
Attempt 3: Correct

Participant 9

Initial description: Create a path of orange that has a direct path from the most blue blocks possible to the red block.

Final description: Create a path from the red block to the farthest blue block that can be directly connected from one to the other.

Participant 10

Initial description: If the path to next square is horizontal or vertical, color the path orange until you can't

Final description: If the path to next square is horizontal or vertical, color the path orange until you can't


Attempt 1: Correct
