Participant 1
Initial description: Starting from the right side of the Test Input grid, view the grid in columns. Fill any non-black squares with green in the first rightmost column. Move leftward by columns, skipping every other column and fill the non-black squares, in the designated columns, with green.

Participant 2
Initial description: ok
Final description: ok
Participant 3
Initial description: Copy the squares exactly as they are in the input, but color every other one green.
Final description: Copy the squares exactly as they are in the input but color every other square green instead of gray.
Participant 4
Initial description: I just transferred the Test input into the output and turned the gray squares green.
Final description: I thought that if two gray squares was touching the middle square then it would turn green on the output.
Participant 5
Initial description: In every-second column I colored the gray cells - green.
Final description: I changed the gray color in every-second column - green. Example 3 showed that I should start with first column.
Participant 6
Initial description: The pattern is the same, but every other block is green going laterally.
Final description: The lateral pattern and colors were the same except the odd number of block moving laterally was green instead of gray.
Participant 7
Initial description: This one is quite curious as I try to sift through any patterns I am seeing. So far one has not popped out and I hoped I might get a better idea of a pattern by getting this first submission wrong. I am perplexed but am leaning towards symmetry between the green grid areas and the black grid spots.
Final description: This rule seems complicated and I never did figure out what the pattern or rule was for this one. I honestly gave up even trying to figure it out when I could not determine what the rule was and gave it my best guessed by looking at the patterns on the example inputs and outputs.
Participant 8
Initial description: I'm just guessing since I'm a little confused
Final description: There has to be a block between every green
Participant 9
Initial description: If the gray squares form a pyramid, pointing either up or down, make the top of the pyramid green. If there is a square attached to the corner of the base of a pyramid, make that green too. If three green squares form a ladder, make the center square of the ladder green.
Final description: I thought the rule was to make the top square of any group forming a pyramid green, I could not figure out what to do with the other squares.
Participant 10
Initial description: I altered colors in the grid system following a specific alternating pattern.
Final description: My approach was to alternate the colors in the boxes, but I missed the specific sequence required for the alternation.
Participant 11
Initial description: The grid is broken up into 2 column groups, with the "last" grey square in the 2 column group colored green. Since there were 17 columns, the first column is treated separately.

Participant 12
Initial description: I'm not sure but I know the same colors can't touch and some grays need to be green
Final description: I didn't get the rule. I think that the same colors can't touch and that some of the grays needed to be green, but I didn't see the pattern.
Participant 13
Initial description: make the greys that are surrounded by black on 3 sides green
Final description: the greys that are most surrounded by black turn green
Participant 14
Initial description: Only some of the clear squares may be filled.
Final description: I felt the green squares may be alternating with some kind of pattern.
Participant 15
Initial description: Going from left to right, change the color of every other grey block to green.
Final description: Counting from left to right, color every odd numbered grey block green.
Participant 16
Initial description: Shapes that consist of one connecting block or more have at least 1 block that is green. Shapes that consist of 3 or more blocks have at least 2 blocks that are green.
Final description: I thought that every other block in a shape would be colored green.
Participant 17
Initial description: Looks like it is skipping every other gray block to me.
Final description: It is skipping every other gray block from right to left and starting form the right most block on the right.
Participant 18
Initial description: very interest
Final description: very risk
Participant 19
Initial description: On this example, the outputs are the same as the inputs with the exception that some squares turn green.
Final description: On this example, the outputs are the same as the inputs with the exception that some squares turn green. Every other square turns green, so that the colors alternate horizontally. Some starting squares are green and some are grey.
Participant 20
Initial description: I'm struggling to figure out this rule. I think the three diagonal grey blocks should have the top and bottom one be green. Also, the pyramid blocks either have the top one or the bottom two green. I just can't figure out in which cases it should be which.
Final description: The rule I could figure out was as given last time. Three diagonal grey boxes have green at the top and bottom. The pyramid-style grey boxes (stacked) have green at the top or bottom two.
Participant 21
Initial description: I don't know the solution to this problem.
Final description: I don't know the solution to this problem.
Participant 22
Initial description: Squares that are diagonally set from grey squares are colored green.
Final description: I thought that I was supposed to color the squares diagonally placed from the grey squares in green.
