The three cups
Cup 1: Step Back
Step Back, Letter · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R, T.
Tip: In position mode, give the squares names like clock positions; names are easier to shuffle along than places.
Cup 2: Light Trail
Light Trail, Easy: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 4 panels; each panel glows for 0.52 s.
Tip: Say the trail quietly to yourself by shape: circle, star, drop. Words travel further than pictures for many people.
Cup 3: Number Span
Number Span, In order · Easy: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 3 digits, each shown for 0.8 s.
Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.
