Participant 1

Initial description: The image in the input shows the placement of the first block and whether to use pink or green and vertical or horizontal. Ours starts with 2 pink vertical blocks so we will need to add 2 green horizontal blocks at each tip and continue alternating outward to the end of the image.

Final description: The block in the input shows what and where to start with. This has pink 2 block vertical. On each corner we add opposing 2 block green horizontal. We repeat between the two going outward and away from start point.

Participant 4

Initial description: Start with the test input squares and reproduce their place in the grid. On the outer edges, branch the pattern out in the opposing color by using the same number of squares, but oriented opposite (e.g., start vertical placement, then move to horizontal placement). Continue to do this until the pattern goes off the grid.

Participant 5

Initial description: I thought the rule was to make the starting two blocks the color provided and then copy pattern in the second color.

Final description: I copied the two pink cells, alternating the green cell in the opposite direction but connecting to the pink ones. I followed the pattern until no grid remained.

Initial description: I'm trying to recreate the section in pink with the green bars added on.

Final description: I'm clearly not smart enough to figure this out.

Participant 7

Initial description: grow the shape with the other color on each corner, with one color only horizontal, one color only vertical

Final description: grow the shape with the other color on each corner, with one color only horizontal, one color only vertical


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 8

Initial description: Alternate pink and green up and down. The number of blocks in the input is how many blocks you use for each color.

Final description: I was trying to get the height and width right. I'm fairly certain that you alternate pink and green like in the examples. You get the number of blocks you need by the input example. Then alternate them down and out.

Participant 10

Initial description: Keep the original green or pink pattern, then from each corner put a copy of that pattern rotated 90 degrees of the opposite color. Continue to rotate and put the opposite color pattern on each outside edge

Final description: I thought I was supposed to keep the original pattern, then copy it and rotate it in the opposite color (green or purple) at each corner, and continue copying like that until no room
