Initial description: Send out the extra squares as far as they can go
Final description: Send out the extra squares as far as they can go
Participant 2
Initial description: Grow grid to 10x10. Ad more light blue squares out diagonally from the small squares adjacent to the large one. Have them go away from the large square to the edge in the same direction the original small square was positioned from the big one.
Final description: My answer is correct from the previous attempt. I had just accidentally bumped the wrong square. I had it right--my fingers are just old and wobbly!
Participant 3
Initial description: Match the pattern and then continue the lead off

Final description: The diagonal cells go with the same color to the edge of the grid.
Participant 5
Initial description: extend the single blue boxes diagonally
Final description: extend the single blue boxes diagonally
Participant 6
Initial description: woops
Final description: just follow the outliers out
Participant 7
Initial description: Input can be interpreted as a figure made of a square with line "emitters" arranged at different corners. Output is determined by extending a line of the same color from each of the emitters.

Participant 8
Initial description: Trail small squares where there is a small blue square jutting out from the big blue square.
Final description: Trail small squares where there is a small blue square jutting out from the big blue square.
Participant 9
Initial description: For every non-black color square that extends from an adjacent of that same color. Continue extending by filling in the same color by counting either one left or right then two up or down.
Final description: For any non-black square that has an adjacent same color and has a square that extends. Count either one square left or right and two squares up or down and fill in the same color as the initial color square. Continue this fill to extend the squares of this color.
