Participant 1

Initial description: The third row from the bottom will always change the gray to blue, as will the second column from the right. The shapes can fill in blue but the upper right remains gray.

Final description: I can't find any recognizable pattern or any common traits between all four examples.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 5

Initial description: Randomly color some of the gray blocks blue.

Final description: Try to make a symmetrical color of blue blocks replacing gray ones.

Participant 6

Initial description: If a line of grey squares goes at least two horizontally or 3 vertically, then color that specific section blue.

Final description: I thought that if the squares were at least two lines horizontally, to color them blue, and if the squares were alone, color the ones in that made a symmetrical pattern.

Participant 7

Initial description: The input pattern is repeated for the output pattern on the same sized grid. However, grey squares that have a symmetrical partner on the other side of the grid, across the vertical line of the grid, are both colored blue.

Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 8

Initial description: The rule is to transform the output to be centered and symmetrical to the grid.

Final description: The solution was to make the grid centered and symmetrical using one color to the grid and only filling in the squares that made the grid centered and symmetrical.

Participant 9

Initial description: to add blue color to all of the squares that are symmetrical

Final description: I made all of the squares blue that formed a symmetrical design

Participant 11

Initial description: If there are 2 gray boxes on row 1, everything on rows 4 and 5 are blue

Final description: that the rows which will be blue were dependent on how many gray boxes were on the first row

Participant 12

Initial description: I tried to color in the middle parts of this test case and leave the outer portions gray.

Final description: I went with the inner parts of the grid being blue with the outer parts being gray.
