Тренажер ᐅ Time Machine

A unique online trainer with elements of arithmetic and visual perception of objects, enabling training of both thinking speed and attention. A significant factor for successful completion is the speed of visual perception. The player sees a clock face but must mentally visualize the numbers to perform calculations. This training is suitable for both adults and children of middle and high school age.

What the “Time Machine” exercise trains

Like all exercises on the mozgotren.ru website, this trainer targets multiple systems, providing a comprehensive load.

Thinking speed

During the online trainer’s tasks, continuous mathematical calculations are required, creating an optimal training load on the corresponding brain cortex centers. The load increases when using not only whole hours but also minutes, requiring separate operations and, if necessary, conversion into hours.

Visual perception

Information on the playing field is presented as analog clock faces with specific arrow positions. The player must mentally convert these objects into numerical data for calculations. Counting numbers by the clock face divisions is possible but highly inefficient. The goal is to train your brain to automatically provide the required information upon seeing the arrow positions. This exercise will seem easier for those who use analog clocks in daily life to track time.

Spatial thinking

In the complicated training mode, clocks on the playing field are rotated, making the information on their faces harder to read. However, this skill improves with repeated practice. Soon, the player will be able to see the necessary data effortlessly, even if the clocks are upside down.

Game rules

From the difficulty settings, only two complications are available at the player’s discretion; otherwise, difficulty increases during training. This is reflected in the number of clock faces on the playing field, starting with two and increasing to four if the player performs successfully, or decreasing with each incorrect answer.

Minutes – a complication that, when activated, requires the player to sum minutes and, if necessary, partially convert them into hours.

Rotation – clock faces in the playing area will be displayed rotated in random directions, complicating the player’s ability to interpret the information.

The player’s main task is to quickly determine the readings on the clock faces, sum them, convert minutes to hours if needed, and select the correct numerical answer from the four options provided at the bottom.

Scoring

The formula for scoring points for a correct answer is as follows:

Your total points + DC*Level

DC – difficulty coefficient, which depends on the difficulty settings chosen before the test. You can see this number in the top-left corner of the playing field. Increasing the difficulty settings raises the difficulty coefficient.

Level – a variable value that starts at a minimum at the beginning of the training and increases by one position with each correct answer. An incorrect answer lowers the level by one position.

The formula for deducting points for an incorrect answer is as follows:

Your total points – (DC*Level)/2

The total points never go into negative values.

Multiplayer

This is a great opportunity to invite one or two opponents and hold a real-time competition. The player selects all difficulty settings and then sends the multiplayer game link by copying it or clicking one of the social media icons below.

The competition can start once all participants confirm their readiness.

Each player has their own playing field, and the difficulty level increases independently of opponents. The winner is determined by the number of points earned with the same trainer settings within the allotted time.

The number of points earned by a player changes color: green indicates that the player is leading, while red suggests insufficient points for victory.

All achievements should be recorded and compared to help select optimal individual settings and provide insight into personal progress. The “Time Machine” mind trainer already includes such a system, with collected data displayed as a convenient progress graph, accompanied by precise point figures and training time below.
