The three cups
Cup 1: Light Trail
Light Trail, Medium: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 6 panels; each panel glows for 0.44 s.
Tip: Group long trails into twos and threes, the way you would remember a phone number.
Cup 2: Reaction Time
Reaction Time, Go or stop: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.31 and 3.37 s, and 3 of those eight signals say Stop.
Tip: Breathe out while you wait. A tense hand jumps early more often than it reacts faster.
Cup 3: Step Back
Step Back, Letter · 3 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 23 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, K, L, N, R, T.
Tip: Say the last items under your breath and drop the oldest each time: ‘K, R’ becomes ‘R, T’.
