A weekly reading of your own

Eight minutes, and the same eight every week.

Five short tasks in a fixed order: a mark to answer, four marks told apart by place, arrows to read past, a sequence to hold, and six patterns to finish.

Once it starts it runs to the end, so give it eight uninterrupted minutes somewhere quiet. What comes out is a baseline of your own — five figures that mean something beside your other weeks and little on their own.

This one goes into the record.

A single reading is mostly noise. Once there are about five, the ordinary swing from one week to the next can be drawn around them, and a fortnight you remember as foggy usually turns out to sit inside it.

The readings that fall outside the swing are the ones worth a second look.

Forget every reading?

This takes away every reading you have taken, with its figures and its timings.

It cannot be undone.
