Don’t get hustled!
- This module contains 3 cups, one of which has the status light under it, and a button labeled “Go!”.
- After pressing the button, the initial location of the status light will be revealed, and the cups will be shuffled around.
- After the cups finish shuffling, select the new location of the status light within 5 seconds to solve the module. However, the light may not actually be under the same cup it was before.
- To determine the actual location of the status light, note the final position of the light’s initial cup, and use it as the column in the table below. For the row, use the first condition that applies, going down.
- If the correct cell says “nowhere”, that means the module has actually stolen the status light and it is under none of the cups. In that case, let 5 seconds pass to solve the module.
- If you select the wrong cup or run out of time, a strike will be incurred and you may not make anymore guesses. Press the button again to start over.
