The three cups
Cup 1: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Subtraction: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 15 − 7.
Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.
Cup 2: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a turned symbol ×6, a dot more or less ×4, a different shape ×2.
Tip: Care pays more than haste: each wrong tap adds two seconds, longer than most rounds last.
Cup 3: Light Trail
Light Trail, Easy: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 4 panels; each panel glows for 0.52 s.
Tip: Group long trails into twos and threes, the way you would remember a phone number.
