The three cups
Cup 1: Number Span
Number Span, In order · Easy: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 3 digits, each shown for 0.8 s.
Tip: Chunk the digits as they arrive: 4-7-2 becomes forty-seven, two. Two chunks are easier to carry than five singles.
Cup 2: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Easy: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 3 tiles on a 3 × 3 grid and stays lit for 1.11 s.
Tip: If you miss twice in a row, take a sip of tea before the next round. The game waits for the countdown, not for you to rush.
Cup 3: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 squares, 6 of them matches, on 8 places of the board.
Tip: Do not chase a missed match. The next item is already on its way.
