Category Tables

Scan across 8–24 repeating table-tiles to spot the single tile with a subtle mutation.

Adaptive staircase calibration

Difficulty scales dynamically from Level 1 to 25 based on response precision and speed. Correct answers advance difficulty (+1 level); mistakes drop difficulty (-1 level) to measure your cognitive ceiling.

Benchmark accuracy

Complete at least 6 questions in a full timed session with ≥75% accuracy to unlock higher difficulty baselines and persist high-water marks.

Assessment rules and guidelines

  • 1A collection of matching small table-tiles is displayed.
  • 2Almost all tiles share an identical grid configuration.
  • 3Exactly ONE tile has been subtly mutated (swapped cells, reversed row, or changed value).
  • 4Click the deviant tile as fast as possible to advance the staircase.
Strategy and pacing
  • Scan a specific landmark cell (e.g., top-left or center) across all tiles first.
  • Higher levels have subtle single-digit mutations (like 6 changed to 8).
