Rod Clue Puzzles With Two Solutions: 92 and 93

The object of a rod-clue puzzle is to make a 2-dimensional design with Cuisenaire Rods that satisfies all the clues and completely fills the drawing if one is given.

Note:  These are two-solution puzzles. After you have found the two solutions, record one in the first answer space and the other one in the second answer space. Then write a clue that would make the first solution the only possible answer.  Next, write a different clue that would make the second solution the only possible answer.
