Light brew · three games · about 4 minutes

Cups in this set

Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.

A light brew to start with. All three cups are poured at gentle levels, so this set is about settling in rather than stretching.

In this pot: hold it in mind, a steady eye, quick hands. It opens with Number Span and finishes with Step Back.

The three cups

Cup 1: Number Span

Number Span, Backwards · Easy: carrying a number while it grows. The first number has 3 digits, each shown for 0.8 s; type it backwards.

Tip: Type steadily; there is no clock while you answer.

Cup 2: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 2.16 and 3.49 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.

Cup 3: Step Back

Step Back, Letter · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, R, T.

Tip: In position mode, give the squares names like clock positions; names are easier to shuffle along than places.

Every cup in set #95 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.
