The three cups
Cup 1: Odd One Out
Odd One Out, Medium: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 4 × 4 to 6 × 6; differences: a mirrored symbol ×4, a turned symbol ×4, a dot more or less ×2, a ring with its gap moved ×2.
Tip: For turns and mirrors, pick one feature of the symbol, like the foot of an L, and look only for where it points.
Cup 2: Light Trail
Light Trail, Medium: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 6 panels; each panel glows for 0.44 s.
Tip: Listen as well as look. Each panel always plays the same note, so a trail is also a little tune.
Cup 3: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Mixed: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 8 ÷ 2.
Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.
