The three cups

Cup 1: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Mixed: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 2 + 4.

Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.

Cup 2: Number Span

Number Span, In order · Hard: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 5 digits, each shown for 0.52 s.

Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.

Cup 3: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Go or stop: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.37 and 3.18 s, and 3 of those eight signals say Stop.

Tip: In go-or-stop, wait for the word as well as the colour. A held tap on Stop is part of the score.

Every cup in set #112 has a fixed seed, so anyone who opens this set gets the same patterns, trails, sums and waits. Your own ticks and results are kept only in this browser.
