Cups in this set

Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.

A medium brew: the levels sit in the middle, with enough in each cup to keep you honest.

In this pot: hold it in mind, a steady eye, quick hands. It opens with Reaction Time and finishes with Ink & Word.

The three cups

Cup 1: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Left or right: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.31 and 3.21 s.

Tip: Play several rounds in a row on the same device before you judge a result; single rounds vary.

Cup 2: 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 3: Ink & Word

Ink & Word, Medium: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 6 colours; the first card is the word ‘purple’ in red ink.

Tip: Keep a finger hovering over the middle of the buttons so every colour is the same short move away.

Every cup in set #167 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.
