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: The numbers never repeat a digit twice in a row and never run in steps like 4-5-6, so you do not need to guard against those.

Cup 2: Odd One Out

Odd One Out, Easy: searching a grid calmly for the one thing that differs. Twelve rounds on grids from 3 × 3 to 5 × 5; differences: a different shape ×6, a turned symbol ×4, a dot more or less ×2.

Tip: Sweep in rows when it does not pop out. Rows are easier to keep track of than a wandering search.

Cup 3: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.25 and 2.74 s.

Tip: Look at the panel, not at your finger. The change is easier to catch straight on.

Every cup in set #6 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.
