A little play. A sharper day.

Number Sense

Ready to trust your eyes?

Sixty seconds of split-second calls. Get them right and the two sides move closer together.

On half the trials both sides carry the same amount of ink, so the darker side is not the answer.

How to Play

  • Catch the flash

    Both clouds appear and vanish in under half a second.

  • Pick a side

    Tap the half you think had more. The real counts are then shown.

  • Feel it tighten

    Two right in a row and the two sides get closer together.

What It Challenges

  • Number sense

    Judge quantity without counting β€” the sense arithmetic is built on.

  • Processing speed

    Decide from a glance, not from a look.

  • Resisting a shortcut

    More dots usually means more ink. Half the time here it does not.
