The three cups

Cup 1: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Hard: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 7 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1 s.

Tip: Tap the tiles you are sure of first, then the doubtful one. A wrong first tap costs the whole round.

Cup 2: 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: Say the trail quietly to yourself by shape: circle, star, drop. Words travel further than pictures for many people.

Cup 3: Step Back

Step Back, Letter · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R.

Tip: Start at one back until it feels dull, then move up. The jump to two back is the big one.

Every cup in set #141 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.
