Participant 1

Initial description: Recreate the lowest set shape within the example output in both size and design.

Final description: I thought that there might be a correlation between the different shape's grid size and their quadrant placement. I tried also the smallest and the largest. I couldn't figure this one out.

Initial description: Lowest picture.

Final description: Lowest right picture.


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 3

Initial description: The lowest image on the original grid is placed into a grid of exactly it's own size.

Final description: The alternating lower left or right image isolated into a grid of exactly it's own size and design.

Participant 4

Initial description: I think I was supposed to replicate what I see. But, on second thought perhaps I was supposed to do something else.

Final description: I was looking at the examples. I had trouble figuring out which object to copy so I tried both.

Participant 5

Initial description: I'm not sure I hit submit accidentally and wasn't done

Final description: It was a guess.. I more or less copied solution two.

Participant 6

Initial description: Take the lowest design in the input and create it in the output with the width and height.

Final description: Alternate the output based on the input bottom design. Odd examples were on the left and even examples on the right. Then make the output grid the exact size of the design.

Participant 8

Initial description: Repeat the bottom shapes alternating between the one on the left or right

Final description: Repeat the bottom shapes alternating between the one on the left or right


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 9

Initial description: Make a grid to fit the shape in either the bottom left or right of the test input, knowing that the next side in the sequence would be bottom right.

Final description: Make a grid to fit the shape in either the bottom left or right of the test input, knowing that the next side in the sequence would be bottom right.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 10

Initial description: Replicate the character that is furthest away from the others

Final description: replicate the character in the bottom right corner.

Initial description: find the piece thats 4x4 and copy it in

Final description: unsure

Participant 13

Initial description: If there were 4 blue shapes, transform the overall grid to 4 columns by 4 rows. Then recreate the blue pattern of the example output.

Final description: I thought I needed to recreate the smallest shape from the input into the output.

Participant 14

Initial description: I think the rule was that the shape was increasing by size.

Final description: I think the rule was that the shape was increasing by size.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 15

Initial description: Determine the bottom-right most non-black pixel. Selecting the full shape, ensuring the height and width cover exactly the dimensions of the shape, copy it with c. Select the topmost left pixel, and then paste the object with v. Finally, adjust the height and width of the grid to match that of the adjusted shape's bounds.

Final description: Quite frankly, there is absolutely no reason this one should have been picked. In all examples, the object which maintains the pixel to the priority of bottom most followed by right-most is selected. Originally, it even accepted the answer given with that rule in mind. Following this, it rejected the explanation providing this answer. The answer is to select the object with the colored pixel in the bottom most, followed by rightmost priorities. Copy them with c, paste them to the top left most pixel, and adjust the height and width to match the colored pixel regions of your shape.
