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: Look at the shape, not the tiles one by one. Three tiles often make a corner, a little line or a triangle that is easier to keep than three separate spots.

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 ×4, a turned symbol ×4, a ring with its gap moved ×3, 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: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Multiplication: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 5 × 3.

Tip: Percentages are friendlier as fractions: 25% is a quarter, 75% is three quarters, 20% is a fifth.

Every cup in set #80 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.
