The three cups

Cup 1: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Percentages: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 50% of 44.

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

Cup 2: Ink & Word

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

Tip: On the hardest level, learn the button order in the first few seconds. It stays the same for the whole game.

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: Tap the tiles you are sure of first, then the doubtful one. A wrong first tap costs the whole round.

Every cup in set #23 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.
