Cups in this set
Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.
A medium brew: the levels sit in the middle, with enough in each cup to keep you honest.
In this pot: hold it in mind, a steady eye, counting. It opens with Step Back and finishes with Flash Grid.

The three cups
Cup 1: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 2 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 22 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.
Tip: Do not chase a missed match. The next item is already on its way.
Cup 2: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Mixed: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 11 − 3.
Tip: For subtraction, count up from the smaller number instead of down from the larger one.
Cup 3: 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.
Every cup in set #14 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.
