Picture Tic Tac Toe Contest

As a kid Daddy subscribed to Games Magazine. (In fact, Gramma has all of them saved in her garage --- unless Uncle Tyler “pitched” them during his most recent Spring cleaning.) One of his favorite puzzles was the Picture Tic-Tac-Toe feature. A Picture Tic-Tac-Toe requires the reader to determine a common theme for each row, column, and diagonal of a 3x3 matrix of pictures.

Can you figure out the themes of all eight rows, columns, and diagonals? A special prize might be given to the person/team who solves the puzzle. There are good, better and best answers. Speed and quality of anwers will be the criteria for possible prizes. 

Admittedly, some of them are easier than others. Good Luck!! Please post responses and elapsed times in the blog comments below. Cheating will not be tolerated.

From Todd:

l-r diag = koch
r-l diag = kitties/cats
top row = color
mid row = signs of success
bot row = scopes
left col = pyramids
mid col = world
rt col = representations
3' 48"

A noble effort from Todd!! Still awaiting the submissions from East Sacramento, Southern Minnesota, East Bay, and Southern California.

Grading
1: Needs improvement
5: Okay
7: Good
8: Better
9: Best
10: Brilliant

l-r diag = koch---10!!
r-l diag = kitties/cats---5, an okay guess; why is bottom left a kitty/cat? Please resubmit for possible grand prize
top row = color---2 :(
mid row = signs of success---5, More lateral thinking needed
bot row = scopes---5, again an okay guess; why is bottom left a "scope," if it is at all? Please resubmit for possible grand prize
left col = pyramids---10!!!
mid col = world---10!!!
rt col = representations---3, admittedly probably the most difficult one. Hint: Think "numbers."
