In this pot: hold it in mind, a steady eye. It opens with Flash Grid and finishes with Ink & Word.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Flash Grid | Easy | 3 tiles on 3 × 3 | about 2 min |

The three cups
Cup 1: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Easy: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 3 tiles on a 3 × 3 grid and stays lit for 1.11 s.
Tip: When the grid grows, split it in your head into halves and remember which half held more light.
Cup 2: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a dot more or less ×6, a turned symbol ×3, a different shape ×3.
Tip: Sweep in rows when it does not pop out. Rows are easier to keep track of than a wandering search.
Cup 3: Ink & Word
Ink & Word, Easy: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 4 colours; the first card is the word ‘yellow’ in blue ink.
Tip: Let your eyes rest on the edge of the letters, where the ink is, rather than reading the middle of the word.
