The three cups

Cup 1: 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: On the nine-panel board, note where the trail starts and where it ends; the middle is easier to rebuild around fixed ends.

Cup 2: Number Span

Number Span, In order · Easy: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 3 digits, each shown for 0.8 s.

Tip: The numbers never repeat a digit twice in a row and never run in steps like 4-5-6, so you do not need to guard against those.

Cup 3: Step Back

Step Back, Letter · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R, T.

Tip: In position mode, give the squares names like clock positions; names are easier to shuffle along than places.

Every cup in set #123 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.
