The three cups
Cup 1: Number Span
Number Span, In order · Medium: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 4 digits, each shown for 0.65 s.
Tip: For backwards, build the number in pairs from the end while it is still appearing, rather than reversing it all at the last moment.
Cup 2: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 2 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 22 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.
Tip: Say the last items under your breath and drop the oldest each time: ‘K, R’ becomes ‘R, T’.
Cup 3: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Easy: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 3 tiles on a 3 × 3 grid and stays lit for 1.11 s.
Tip: If you miss twice in a row, take a sip of tea before the next round. The game waits for the countdown, not for you to rush.
