Participant 1
Initial description: Resize the grid. Add 4 grey lines across to make 9 even sized boxes. Identify one grid with 4 colors and transfer that onto the new grid.
Final description: I think I figured out the initial size increase and drawing of grey lines. It was a question of which of the 9 boxes to copy onto the new output. I could not crack that code.
Participant 2
Initial description: I think the rule gets rid of all the boxes except for the one that contains an orange and yellow square.
Final description: I really don't know. I know which pattern it is but I don't know how to determine which square it ends up in.
Participant 3
Initial description: I had no idea. I just guessed.
Final description: This one confused me. I don't know how to solve it.
Participant 4
Initial description: After examining all 3 example inputs and outputs, I've noticed that all outputs share a commonality with one small 3x3 grid containing a yellow block. I'm not sure what determines the position of the output, but the fact that each block contains a yellow must be a rule for this task.
Final description: First I figured out that all example inputs and outputs shared a yellow block. Those were the only blocks included in the output. I also figured out that the position of the yellow square in the smaller 3x3 box is the same in the larger grid as a whole.
Participant 5
Initial description: Only the design with a yellow square is copied. It is placed in a 3 x 3 grid on an 11 x 11 (functionally 9 x 9) grid in the grid that corresponds to yellow's in it's own 3 x 3.

Participant 6
Initial description: yes
Final description: none
Participant 7
Initial description: The grid remains the same overall size, and all blocks in the 3x3 sections created by the two vertical and two horizontal grey lines are blacked out. To determine which input 3x3 section will be used, identify the one with a yellow square. The 3x3 section with the yellow square will be transferred from the input to the output with any grey squares becoming black. To determine which 3x3 group to transfer it to, identify which block in the 3x3 group to be transferred is yellow, and that identifies which group of 9 blocks in the output will receive the transfer. In this case, the top right block is yellow in the input 3x3 section, so the top right 3x3 group of black blocks in the output is where the 3x3 input group containing the yellow block is transferred to.

Participant 8
Initial description: Pattern determined from previous 4 input output results.
Final description: I thought the rule was to take the bottom pattern and recreate it in the opposite section on the output grid.
Participant 9
Initial description: Find the 3x3 square that has the yellow block in it. Once you do that, use the position of that yellow block in the 3x3 grid to position that cube in your 3x3 cube grid.

Participant 10
Initial description: Copy only the block set with the yellow block. Place it in the block set based on where the yellow block is. In this case it was in the upper right corner, so the block set is placed in the upper right block set.

Participant 11
Initial description: The rule is to find the 3x3 square that contains the yellow individual square. Then on the output, act like the grey lines do not exist and the 11x11 output square is a larger version of the 3x3 square. Then you put the 3x3 to where it corresponds on the 11x11. so, the yellow square on this one is on the 3rd black individual on the top row of the 3x3. So it would be on the top row of the 11x11 all the way on the right.
