The three cups

Cup 1: 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: Say the trail quietly to yourself by shape: circle, star, drop. Words travel further than pictures for many people.

Cup 2: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Percentages: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 50% of 72.

Tip: A skipped problem costs less time than a long stare. Press OK and keep the rhythm.

Cup 3: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Hard: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 7 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1 s.

Tip: When the grid grows, split it in your head into halves and remember which half held more light.

Every cup in set #172 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.
