The three cups

Cup 1: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Medium: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 5 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1.1 s.

Tip: Look at the shape, not the tiles one by one. Three tiles often make a corner, a little line or a triangle that is easier to keep than three separate spots.

Cup 2: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.5 and 3.52 s.

Tip: Play several rounds in a row on the same device before you judge a result; single rounds vary.

Cup 3: Step Back

Step Back, Letter · 2 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 22 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R, T.

Tip: Do not chase a missed match. The next item is already on its way.

Every cup in set #12 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.
