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 turned symbol ×5, a ring with its gap moved ×4, a mirrored symbol ×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 2: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Left or right: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.28 and 2.9 s.

Tip: Play several rounds in a row on the same device before you judge a result; single rounds vary.

Cup 3: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Medium: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 5 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1.1 s.

Tip: When the grid grows, split it in your head into halves and remember which half held more light.

Every cup in set #48 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.
