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: On the nine-panel board, note where the trail starts and where it ends; the middle is easier to rebuild around fixed ends.

Cup 2: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.39 and 3.07 s.

Tip: In go-or-stop, wait for the word as well as the colour. A held tap on Stop is part of the score.

Cup 3: Ink & Word

Ink & Word, Easy: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 4 colours; the first card is the word ‘green’ in green ink.

Tip: Keep a finger hovering over the middle of the buttons so every colour is the same short move away.

Every cup in set #39 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.
