Initial description: The rule seems to be to expand from the red square until it hits the edge of the grid.

Final description: The rule seems to be to expand red in both directions if it hits another colored square, but to stop if its hits the edge of the grid.

Participant 5

Initial description: Match the entire input grid. Then bleed the red to the right until it hits an obstacle. Next it will bleed down to the next colored obstacle and bleed right and left to the next obstacles and so on until it is stopped

Final description: I am very confused by this task. I can't find any pattern other than red bleeding from left to right when started at the right.

Participant 6

Initial description: Starting from the red tile, paint a red line until coming to a non-red colored tile. From there, extend red lines in perpendicular directions until either coming to the grid border or to another non-red colored tile, in which case continue to extend red perpendicular lines.

Participant 10

Initial description: I think the goal was to connect as many mauve blocks to the other colors as much as possible!

Final description: I'm sorry, not the mauve the cranberry color. I thought the goal was to make the cranberry color seamlessly connect to all the other blocks like a chain.

Initial description: It looks like extending out from the first red square on the left side. I am unsure of how far out the red web extends or what the rules are for that.

Final description: Extending the red blocks from the first red block on the left. I was using trial and error as I did to successfully solve the first but ultimately I was unsure how far to extend the red web or what the rule was based on the other block colors.

Participant 12

Initial description: The rule appears to be starting from the tangerine colored block and continuing straight until you hit another block, then cross sectioning it until you hit another block, ending when you have contact with 3 of the 4 edges.

Final description: I think the goal is to get the starting color all the way across from one end to the other, meaning I made my mistake at the light orange block at the top, where I should have crossed the full length of the grid from left to right.

Participant 13

Initial description: Starting with the red block, move right until your path is obstructed. Branch out up, down, left and right. Repeat this process until the path reaches the border.

Final description: Start with the red block on the left. Move right until your path is obstructed. Branch out in in all four cardinal directions. Repeat this sequence until all paths are obstructed, or the path reaches the border.

Participant 14

Initial description: Red moves in straight line until it is blocked by another color and moves at right angels afterwards until it strikes the wall or no other colors.

Final description: Red moves in a straight line until it strikes another color and moves at right angle until is strikes either the wall or continues on striking colors and moving at right angles.
