Participant 2
Initial description: Create the outer border around the inset smaller image.
Final description: Create the outer pattern that matches an expansion of the inner pattern.
Participant 3
Initial description: Make a 9 by 9 grid. Copy the test input into the top left corner. Add 5 blocks from the left below the pattern and five blocks on the right side starting from the top in the color of the first block in column and row 1. Do the same thing for the next sets of rows and columns, increasing by one block each time and using the color block from row 3 column 3 for the next set of lines and the color of row 2 column 2 for the set after that. Then the color of row 1, column 1 for the set after that. For the sixth block in row 6 use the color from row 3, column 3, for the 7th block in row 7 use the color from row 2, column 2, for the 8th block in row 8 use the color of row 1 column 1, and for block 9 in row 9 use the color of row 3, column 3.
Final description: Make a 10x10 grid. Copy the test input in the top left corner. Using the pattern in the test input expand the pattern. Starting with the color in the corners for the next part of the pattern and then the center color and work out in repeating rows.The tenth block on row ten should end up being the same color as the color for row 2, column 2.
Participant 4
Initial description: Extend the grid until the cross pattern is in the upper left corner. Then continue the border pattern using the alternating colors.
