The three cups
Cup 1: Light Trail
Light Trail, Easy: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 4 panels; each panel glows for 0.52 s.
Tip: Listen as well as look. Each panel always plays the same note, so a trail is also a little tune.
Cup 2: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a dot more or less ×5, a turned symbol ×4, a different shape ×3.
Tip: Resist checking symbols one at a time. Let your gaze rest loosely on the whole grid; quite often the different one steps forward on its own.
Cup 3: Step Back
Step Back, Letter · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 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.
