The three cups

Cup 1: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Percentages: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 10% of 60.

Tip: For subtraction, count up from the smaller number instead of down from the larger one.

Cup 2: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Go or stop: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.34 and 2.92 s, and 3 of those eight signals say Stop.

Tip: Look at the panel, not at your finger. The change is easier to catch straight on.

Cup 3: 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 ‘purple’ in green ink.

Tip: A wrong tap costs a full second, so a calm correct tap beats a quick wrong one.

Every cup in set #29 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.
