The three cups
Cup 1: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Mixed: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 3 × 3.
Tip: Round and adjust: 38 + 47 is 40 + 47 minus two.
Cup 2: Number Span
Number Span, In order · Hard: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 5 digits, each shown for 0.52 s.
Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.
Cup 3: Ink & Word
Ink & Word, Medium: keeping your eye on the ink while the word pulls the other way. Forty-five seconds with 6 colours; the first card is the word ‘blue’ in blue ink.
Tip: On the hardest level, learn the button order in the first few seconds. It stays the same for the whole game.
