What this step asks
Repeat a pattern of 9 tiles on the Medium level. The run opens with 5 tiles and every correct round adds one, so 5 correct rounds take you there. You have 14 rounds and 3 lives; a miss takes a tile off the next pattern and costs you rounds to climb back.
The numbers behind the target
- Opening pattern: 5 tiles on a 4×4 grid, on show for 1100 ms.
- Target pattern: 9 tiles on a 5×5 grid, on show for 1340 ms (60 ms more for every extra tile).
- The grid grows on the way, so the target pattern is spread over more squares than the opening one.
- Rounds to spare for slips: 9 of 14.
Before you start
Halfway up, slips cost more than slowness. Aim for a clean run before a quick one.
The run code fixes the tasks, so every retry is the same course. What you learned on the last attempt still applies.
