1. We need to have exactly this many spheres

When working with spheres, it’s crucial to have the right amount. You might be wondering why the number matters, and that’s a great question. Allow me to explain.

When it comes to spheres, quantity plays a significant role. The number of spheres affects how we perceive and interact with them. It’s not just a random decision; it’s a deliberate choice that impacts our experience.

So, how do we determine the right number of spheres? Well, it all depends on what we’re trying to achieve. Each sphere serves a purpose and contributes to the overall effect. Too many spheres can be overwhelming, making it difficult to focus on any one of them. On the other hand, too few spheres may leave us wanting more.

It’s like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We want to find the number of spheres that feels just right. Not too many, not too few, but just the perfect amount.

Now, you might be thinking, “But how do I know what the perfect amount is?” Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. The art lies in finding the balance. It’s about considering the context, the space available, and the desired impact. By taking all these factors into account, we can determine the ideal number of spheres.

Remember, it’s not about having a specific number just for the sake of it. Instead, it’s about creating a harmonious composition that captures our attention and sparks our imagination. So, next time you’re working with spheres, take a moment to think about their quantity and how it can enhance your experience.

When you see these cards, it tells you the number and color of spheres you need to put on the tray. It doesn’t matter where you put them or if they touch each other.

For example, you need to put one green sphere and two orange spheres in this case.

If you put more or fewer spheres than what the card shows, you didn’t do the task right.

Unique circumstances: If two cards of the same color are shown, such as the green “1” and the green “2”, you simply combine the numbers on both cards.

For this instance, I need to place all three green spheres.

2. The spheres should be in contact with each other

If you have the spheres of both colors shown on the card, you need to make sure that each sphere touches at least one sphere of the other color. This can be done by placing them side by side or on top of each other.

You have the option of either not placing any spheres of the two colors on the tray at all, or only placing spheres of one color.

For example, in this case, the white spheres must touch each other, while the blue and black spheres must also touch each other.

If you place spheres of both colors on the tray and any sphere of one color is not touching any sphere of the other color, then you have not completed the task shown on the card.

3. The spheres cannot be touching each other.

Imagine a puzzle that challenges you to arrange colored spheres on a tray without letting them touch. Sounds tricky, right? Well, that’s exactly what these cards are all about!

Each card shows different colors, and your job is to make sure spheres of those colors don’t touch. It’s like playing a game of Tetris, but with colors instead of shapes.

So, let’s break it down. The first rule is simple – spheres of the same color must never touch each other. That means no positioning them side by side or stacking them on top of each other. Keep ’em separate!

Take this example: You see white and green spheres on level two, but guess what? They’re not supposed to touch each other! Only spheres of different colors can be next to each other.

Now, here’s the twist – even if just one sphere touches another in violation of this rule, you’re out! The task card won’t be completed until all spheres are perfectly placed.

And remember, there’s one more rule to follow – no sphere should be on top of any other spheres. Keep them all at the same level, and you’ll conquer the challenge!

When you’re playing this game, there’s one important rule to keep in mind. The sphere that’s a solid color on the card can’t go on top of any other spheres. It can only be on the bottom level.

For example, let’s say you have orange spheres. These spheres can’t be on top of any other spheres. They can only be on level one.

If you put any spheres below the solid-colored sphere, you didn’t follow the instructions on the card.

5. No sphere should be under another sphere

You can’t put any other spheres on top of the solid-colored sphere shown on the card. It should be the topmost sphere, with no other spheres resting on it. The solid-colored sphere can be placed on any level, as long as there are no spheres on top of it.

For example, in this situation, you can’t have white spheres below any other spheres.

If you put any other sphere on top of the solid-colored sphere shown, you haven’t completed the task on the card.

6. There should be more spheres of one color than another.

When it comes to this task, it’s important to remember that you need to put more spheres of the color on the left side of the card than the color on the right side. The placement of the spheres and whether or not they touch each other doesn’t matter.

You have to put at least one sphere of the color on the left side. In this example, you need to place more orange spheres than black spheres.

If you put fewer or the same number of spheres from the left side as the number on the right side, you haven’t completed the task described on the card.

7. You must have a total of four spheres in both colors combined.

So here’s the deal: you need to put a total of four spheres of the two colors you see – either three of one color and one of the other, or two and two. It doesn’t matter where you put them or if they touch each other. Got it?

For example, you have to place exactly four spheres of orange and white colors in this case.

If you put more or fewer than four spheres of the two colors shown, you haven’t finished the task on the card.
