Finding the next circle takes time. If you wait until after each tap to start searching, you may pause repeatedly along the trail.

Try looking for the next circle while you tap the current one. Aim to know where to go before moving your finger again.

Part B asks you to follow two sequences at once. Try saying each pair as you go: one A, two B, three C. Pairing the number and letter can help you keep your place while you search.

Follow one board

Start at 1 in the bottom left. Say "one A" and find A before you tap 1.

Tap A, say "two B", and find 2 while your finger is still on A. Then tap 2 and look for B.

The line shows the route the whole way: 1, A, 2, B, 3. Every search happened one step before it was needed.

1A2B3
The finished route: 1, A, 2, B, 3.

Name the next one

You are in part B. The trail so far is 1, A, 2, B, 3.

Say the pairs to yourself and decide what the next tap is.

What comes after 3?

Try it

In part B you have just tapped 3. What comes next?

  1. 4
  2. C
Show the answer

C

Correct. The order is 1, A, 2, B, 3, C, so C follows 3. Saying "three C" before you tap 3 keeps both sequences in step.
