The three cups
Cup 1: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.
Tip: Say the last items under your breath and drop the oldest each time: ‘K, R’ becomes ‘R, T’.
Cup 2: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Easy: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 3 tiles on a 3 × 3 grid and stays lit for 1.11 s.
Tip: If you miss twice in a row, take a sip of tea before the next round. The game waits for the countdown, not for you to rush.
Cup 3: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a turned symbol ×5, a dot more or less ×4, a different shape ×3.
Tip: For turns and mirrors, pick one feature of the symbol, like the foot of an L, and look only for where it points.
