The three cups

Cup 1: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Left or right: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.48 and 3.55 s.

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

Cup 2: Flash Grid

Flash Grid, Hard: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 7 tiles on a 4 × 4 grid and stays lit for 1 s.

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

Cup 3: Step Back

Step Back, Position · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.

Tip: In position mode, give the squares names like clock positions; names are easier to shuffle along than places.

Every cup in set #51 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.
