The three cups
Cup 1: Quick Sums
Quick Sums, Addition: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 6 + 6.
Tip: Percentages are friendlier as fractions: 25% is a quarter, 75% is three quarters, 20% is a fifth.
Cup 2: Step Back
Step Back, Position · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 squares, 6 of them matches, on 7 places of the board.
Tip: In position mode, give the squares names like clock positions; names are easier to shuffle along than places.
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: 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.
Every cup in set #94 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.
