The three cups

Cup 1: Ink & Word

Ink & Word, Hard: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 6 colours and word buttons; the first card is the word ‘green’ in orange ink.

Tip: A wrong tap costs a full second, so a calm correct tap beats a quick wrong one.

Cup 2: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Percentages: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 10% of 70.

Tip: Percentages are friendlier as fractions: 25% is a quarter, 75% is three quarters, 20% is a fifth.

Cup 3: 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: Tap the tiles you are sure of first, then the doubtful one. A wrong first tap costs the whole round.

Every cup in set #119 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.
