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 1.23 and 3.12 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: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 squares, 6 of them matches, on 8 places of the board.
Tip: Start at one back until it feels dull, then move up. The jump to two back is the big one.
Cup 3: 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: Group long trails into twos and threes, the way you would remember a phone number.
