Participant 3

Initial description: Copy test input. Think of every grey square as the center of the larger squares from the output. Place grey squares on all 4 corners of the center grey square, then add blue squares in the middle of those grey squares, just like the example outputs. Once you have the exterior of the larger squares completed, replace all the original center grey squares from the test input to black squares.
