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, counting, quick hands. It opens with Reaction Time and finishes with Quick Sums.

The three cups

Cup 1: Reaction Time

Reaction Time, Simple: waiting calmly and moving the instant something changes. The first eight waits fall between 1.7 and 3.59 s.

Tip: Breathe out while you wait. A tense hand jumps early more often than it reacts faster.

Cup 2: Light Trail

Light Trail, Easy: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 4 panels; each panel glows for 0.52 s.

Tip: Say the trail quietly to yourself by shape: circle, star, drop. Words travel further than pictures for many people.

Cup 3: Quick Sums

Quick Sums, Addition: steady mental arithmetic against a gentle clock. Sixty seconds; the first problem is 2 + 7.

Tip: A skipped problem costs less time than a long stare. Press OK and keep the rhythm.

Every cup in set #97 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.
