Participant 1
Initial description: The long blue bars have to touch the bottom of the example. This means they either extend straight down or move to the side of the orange blocks then down to the bottom of the example.

Participant 2
Initial description: Make the blue lines continuous to the bottom of the grid, moving around the orange horizontal blocks.
Final description: Make the blue grids go all the way to the bottom, moving around the horizontal orange blocks.
Participant 3
Initial description: The blue color spills over the red color towards the bottom
Final description: The blue color spills towards the bottom over the red color.
Participant 4
Initial description: The blue lines should drain past the red lines.
Final description: The blue lines should drain past the red lines.
Participant 5
Initial description: created the good checkboard
Final description: good
Participant 6
Initial description: The blue continues in a straight line down the grid unless its path is interrupted by a red square. The blue then goes the least distance around the red to continue straight down the grid.

Participant 7
Initial description: Copy the original pattern entirely. The blue tiles are like water, the black tiles are empty space, the red tiles are platforms. Have the "water" flow down. When it hits the "platform", go off on the side of the platform it hit (with one extra tile to round the corner, don't just go diagonally).

Participant 8
Initial description: The rules is to stretch the line downward if there is a blue red line.
Final description: I used the sample method to deal with it.
