Answer

First loop on the diagonals , then loop on each row and column. While looping maintain two variable Xcount and Ycount , which you will increase whenever you counter a symbol (increase Xcount on finding 'X', increaseYcount on finding 'Y', increase Xcount and Ycount on finding 'T') , after each loop end check those variables, if one of them equals 5 (not 4 because I initialized them with 1) , the corresponding player is a winner, else you have two possibilities Draw or NotComplete, if there was a '.' in the input, the result is NoTcomleteGame else, Draw.

problem B : Lawnmower

you can check the problem statement from  codejam 2013 site:
https://code.google.com/codejam/contest/2270488/dashboard#s=p1

Answer

First we map the desired pattern into a two dimensional array.
The idea is to find an element in the pattern which will make it an impossible pattern. Such element will be the one that you cant cut it vertically or horizontally, because if you do you will mess up another element.

                                           codejam 2013 prob b

Therefore, we start by calculating the max elements for each row and maximum element in each column, then we loop on the array elements, if we found an element that is not maximum in its row and not maximum in its column we mark the pattern as impossible.

problem C : Fair and Square

you can check the problem statement from  codejam 2013 site:
https://code.google.com/codejam/contest/2270488/dashboard#s=p2

Answer

Here we start form index zero, if the current index is palindrome  we check its square, if the square is outside the range, then we are done,else if the square is palindrome we increase the count,
