Participant 1

Initial description: I thought the rule to transform input to output was to select the colored squares with black inside and create a larger grid pattern of those adjacent colors as per the output examples.

Final description: I transcribed the open squares vertically.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 4

Initial description: Determine whether the squares with black centers are vertically or horizontally aligned. Arrange the output to match their direction, and then arrange the squares with black centers on the new grid in the order they appear in the input, either from side to side or top to bottom.

Participant 5

Initial description: Create one box of red and one box of yellow using the outer spaces.

Final description: I honest have no clue as to what was wanted from me.

Participant 6

Initial description: The outline boxes are copied. If they are primarily horizontal, the boxes are put side to side. If they are primarily vertical, the boxes are stacked.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 7

Initial description: Colors aligned from left to right by their placement, from left to right, on the test input. Output includes only those squares hollowed in the center.

Final description: Colors aligned from left to right by their placement, from left to right, on the test input. Output includes only those squares hollowed in the center.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 8

Initial description: disregard the solid squares. Take the hollow squares and either put them in a row or stack them, depending on they they appear in the test. Having them touching and no extra space.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 9

Initial description: Stack only the squares with an empty center, vertical or horizontal depending on which would make a straight line with the fewest movements.

Final description: Stack only the squares with an empty center, vertical or horizontal depending on which would make a straight line with the fewest movements.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 10

Initial description: The only squares that will be in the output are the squares with blacked out holes in the middle. So in this example, only the green, red, and blue squares would be considered. Originally, if the squares were next to one another, you would have them arranged horizontally. But since the squares are somewhat arranged from top to bottom, they will be arranged vertically. The squares height and width will match the input, as well as the colors.
