The three cups

Cup 1: Light Trail

Light Trail, Hard: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 4 steps long on 9 panels; each panel glows for 0.36 s.

Tip: Listen as well as look. Each panel always plays the same note, so a trail is also a little tune.

Cup 2: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Division: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 36 ÷ 4.

Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.

Cup 3: Number Span

Number Span, Backwards · Easy: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 3 digits, each shown for 0.8 s; type it backwards.

Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.

Every cup in set #13 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.
