The three cups
Cup 1: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.
Tip: Start at one back until it feels dull, then move up. The jump to two back is the big one.
Cup 2: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Hard: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 7 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1 s.
Tip: When the grid grows, split it in your head into halves and remember which half held more light.
Cup 3: Reaction Time
Reaction Time, Go or stop: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.28 and 3.16 s, and 3 of those eight signals say Stop.
Tip: Breathe out while you wait. A tense hand jumps early more often than it reacts faster.
