Participant 3

Initial description: divide the input into 3 5x5 grids. Starting with the pink and black bottom third, compare with the dark blue and black upper third. Any square that is black should be colored dark blue if there is a dark blue square in a corresponding position. Do the same for the light blue square.

Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 6

Initial description: Combine the 3 colored grids into a single 5x5 grid and fill in the squares according to the patterns of each color and priority. Assign pink top priority and fill in all pink squares, then fill any non-pink squares with dark blue squares, then fill in any remaining squares with light blue if its pattern calls for it.

Participant 8

Initial description: Magenta stays where it is in the 5x5 grid, slide the blue grids down as if they are behind the magenta

Final description: Think of magenta, light blue, and dark blue as layers. Magenta stays where it is and is on top, dark blue moves down with layer underneath magenta, then light blue moves down with layer underneath dark blue

Participant 11

Initial description: Combine the colored patterns into one 5x5 grid, one color at a time, starting from the top, so that they sit one on top of the other.

Final description: Combine the colors into a single 5x5 grid, so that they are overlapping. Starting with the 2nd color, then overwrite with the 1st color, and finally the 3rd color goes on top.


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 12

Initial description: The pink pattern appears to stay the same but its on a smaller 5x5 grid. Some of the light and dark blue squares are moved down into the pink pattern in their original places. Its quite confusing.

Final description: I tried my best. I moved light and dark blue pieces into the empty areas of the pink pattern, following their original patterns, but no. I just dont get it.
