The three cups

Cup 1: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Multiplication: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 4 × 9.

Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.

Cup 2: 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 mirrored symbol ×6, a turned symbol ×3, a ring with its gap moved ×2, a dot more or less ×1.

Tip: Care pays more than haste: each wrong tap adds two seconds, longer than most rounds last.

Cup 3: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Left or right: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.31 and 3.35 s.

Tip: In go-or-stop, wait for the word as well as the colour. A held tap on Stop is part of the score.

Every cup in set #76 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.
