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: Listen as well as look. Each panel always plays the same note, so a trail is also a little tune.
Cup 2: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Percentages: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 10% of 90.
Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.
Cup 3: Step Back
Step Back, Letter · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R, T.
Tip: Start at one back until it feels dull, then move up. The jump to two back is the big one.
