Participant 1

Initial description: Number of squares times three and then put the colors in the same location

Final description: Number of squares times three and then put the colors in the same location


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 2

Initial description: recreate same color pattern, but on a grid expanded according to the number of colors on the input, so that each individual reproduced colored square pattern is a grid of 'number of colors' by 'number of colors'

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 3

Initial description: The color blocks are increased in grid lines by the number of colored blocks in the total patterned.

Final description: The color blocks are increased in grid lines by the number of colored blocks in the total patterned.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 4

Initial description: Count number of colored blocks. Create a grid size that allows each color to be the number of blocks equal to the number of colored blocks and fill as shown on input.

Final description: Count number of colored blocks. Create a grid size that allows each color to be the number of blocks equal to the number of colored blocks and fill as shown on input.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 5

Initial description: From the test input, take note of the number of unique colors that isn't black. Using that number and a color of one of the non-black squares, create a row and column of squares using the number of unique colors to indicate the height and width.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 6

Initial description: grid x number of blocks

Final description: grid x number of blocks


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 7

Initial description: The output is gotten by multiplying the size of the grid by the number of colors. The colors then fill in a 4x4 grid.

Final description: The output is gotten by multiplying the size of the grid by the number of colors. The colors then fill in a 4x4 grid.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 8

Initial description: bigger version of the input

Final description: bigger version of the left input


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 9

Initial description: number of blocks multiplied by 3 to create the grid size. repeat pattern on a larger scale

Final description: number of blocks multiplied by 3 to create the grid size. repeat pattern on a larger scale


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 10

Initial description: The grid was extended so that the colored tiles could be replicated to match the total number of colors. The sides of the colored squares were also extended so that the tiles matched the color number as well.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 11

Initial description: I counted the number of colored squares, expanded the grid to accommodate 4X4 boxes and just transferred the colors to the same boxes.

Final description: I counted the number of colored squares, expanded the grid to accommodate 4X4 boxes and just transferred the colors to the same boxes.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 12

Initial description: Count how many colored tiles there are in the input. Expand each of those colored tiles to a square with sides based on the number of colored tiles in the input.

Final description: Count how many colored tiles there are in the input. Expand each of those colored tiles to a square with sides based on the number of colored tiles in the input.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 13

Initial description: No colors are changed or removed, but the grid is separated into more squares, with overall size of colored area staying the same.

Final description: I tied the number of different colors to the size of the grid. Example 1 had three colors and a 6x6 grid. Example 2 was four colors and 9x9, and example 3 had six colors and a 15x15. The task had five colors, so I used a 12x12 grid to fit proportionally with the examples. The colors stayed the same, but filled more squares in the grid to fit proportionally as well.


Attempt 1: Incorrect
Attempt 2: Correct

Participant 14

Initial description: Take the number of colored squares, multiply by the size of the input grid. In this case, 4 colors x 3. This gives you a 12x12 output grid. Take each color and create its own 4x4 grid inside the bigger output grid. We have four colors, so we create 4 mini grids consisting of those colors.
