Participant 1
Initial description: put the bottom left one into the upper right one. for the one put into, just keep the color in the four corners and remove others by the adjacent color.
Final description: I do believe that my first attempt is correct.
Participant 2
Initial description: Combine the two shapes into one grid
Final description: Combine the two shapes into one grid.
Participant 3
Initial description: This was super hard I think you can only have 2 light blue blocks in a row and you need to match the black blocks that are around the light blue blocks to start.
Final description: I have no idea, this is super hard. it does not make sense.
Participant 4
Initial description: Light blue pattern shoulld be placed inside the lined square and edge squares should replace light blue squares such that no more than 2 light blue squares are in any one line or column.
Final description: I have no idea. I know the light blue pattern goes inside the multicolored square from the input, but the rule for which colors to extend inward and when, escapes me.
Participant 5
Initial description: Extend the red, blue, yellow, and green lines across the grid.
Final description: Extend the green, yellow, red, and green lines. Fill the blocks with light blue in certain areas.
Participant 6
Initial description: I am not sure, I wasn't given an attempt
Final description: I don't know, I am very confused by this puzzle.
Participant 7
Initial description: I'm not sure
Final description: Replicate the "O" of the test input, and then add the light blue formation inside of it. Color some of the light blue squares to match the same color as the side of the "O".
Participant 8
Initial description: Count the largest square in the input. Make grid of that number for output. Outline grid except corners same color as the square in the input. Fill in exact same light blue squares as shown in input. Overlap the side colors with the blues except for the corners to match the input. If there's black showing, do not color it.
Final description: I matched the colors from the sides into the middle grid leaving the corners alone. If the blue overlapped with the colors, I used that color to cover it up.
Participant 9
Initial description: The light blue pattern was placed in the middle of the other square presented. If the lighter blue square was close to a row and column of two different colors, then it remained the same color. If the light blue square was only adjacent to a row or column of one color then it would change to the color of that corresponding row or column. This was only done to the light blue squares that were closest to the edge, the middle squares remained the same.
Final description: I thought I had this pattern figured out but it seems like I was wrong. I placed the light blue pattern inside the larger square. I noticed that if a light blue square was touching a row and a column with two different colors it would stay light blue. If it was just touching a light blue square and a row or column of a different color, it would change to the corresponding color of the row or column.
Participant 10
Initial description: The rule was to count to see how many rows the grid had, then count over to the number of blocks to determine where to start filling in the colors.
Final description: I thought that the rule was to determine where to start the colors. I realize where I made my mistake.
Participant 11
Initial description: I'm not going to lie - I'm not sure about this. I think it's that the cyan shape can't be touching the sides of the colored square in slots greater than two? I really don't know.
Final description: I have no idea what to do on this task. I though I had it figured out on the first attempt but apparently not. This doesn't make any sense to me.
