Focus / DAY 009
Flash Count
Shapes blink in and out. Only one kind counts. How many did you see?
How to play
- 1
You're shown one shape in one colour — that combination is your target.
- 2
Shapes flash on and off. Count only the ones matching BOTH colour and shape.
- 3
Type your count at the end. Off by more than one and you lose a life.
Why it works
Counting a feature combination forces you to check two things at once on every flash, which is far harder than tracking a single colour. It is a sustained attention task: one lapse and your running total is wrong, and unlike a puzzle you cannot go back and check.
FAQ
What round is good?
Round 4 is solid and round 6 is exceptional. By then the shapes come twice as fast and most of them are near-misses.
Why is it so much harder than counting one colour?
A single feature can pop out on its own. A combination cannot — you have to inspect each item, and that costs attention you'd rather spend on keeping count.
