The three cups
Cup 1: Reaction Time
Reaction Time, Go or stop: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.56 and 3.38 s, and 3 of those eight signals say Stop.
Tip: Look at the panel, not at your finger. The change is easier to catch straight on.
Cup 2: Number Span
Number Span, In order · Hard: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 5 digits, each shown for 0.52 s.
Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.
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, T.
Tip: Do not chase a missed match. The next item is already on its way.
