Cups in this set
Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.
A medium brew: the levels sit in the middle, with enough in each cup to keep you honest.
In this pot: hold it in mind, counting. It opens with Flash Grid and finishes with Quick Sums.

| 3 | Quick Sums | Division | 12 ÷ 4 | about 1 min |
The three cups
Cup 1: 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.
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, Division: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 12 ÷ 4.
Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.
