Motion Challenge
IntellectualA ball maze planning test in the style of Aon's motionChallenge: slide the blocks clear and steer the orange ball into the black hole in as few moves as you can. Six minutes on the clock, as many puzzles as you can solve, one level up after every solve.
Overview
The Motion Challenge is a ball maze planning test modelled on motionChallenge, the official name of the sliding-block planning module in Aon's smartPredict battery, used in cut-e style ability screening. It measures complex planning: you have to read the whole board and think several dependent moves ahead before touching anything, because every solve is scored against the puzzle's true minimum move count. The six-minute clock, the board format, the one-drag-one-move counting, the final Skip and the level-up after every solved puzzle all match the verified format of the real module. The level ladder, the puzzle generator and the scoring weights are our own design around that verified format.

Example: one puzzle in the minimum 4 moves
This is a real level-1 board. The purple bar blocks the ball's column, so it has to clear out first; the whole solve is two bar moves and two ball moves.
The start: the orange ball must reach the black hole, but the purple bar blocks its column. Plan the whole line before moving.
Game Phases
Read the board
A small grid holds the orange ball, the black hole, and colored blocks in the way. Before you touch anything, trace the path the ball needs and which pieces have to clear it, in what order.
Plan the fewest moves
One drag of one piece along a clear path is one move, no matter how far it slides. Every puzzle has a provable minimum, and solving in exactly that many moves is worth double, so the planning happens before the first drag.
Drop the ball in
Only the orange ball entering the hole completes the puzzle. Other pieces may sit on the hole or slide across it, and sometimes one starts parked right on top of it and has to be moved off first.
Climb the ladder
Every solve unlocks the next level: bigger boards, more pieces, and from level 2 the pinned grey blockers that never move. Skip is final and drops you a level, so use it only when a board has genuinely beaten you.

Multitasking & Planning
8 exercisesMultitasking Test
Two tasks at once: scan number grids for duplicate pairs while answering spoken questions from your phonebook, agenda, mental math and word categories — some of which must be answered at an exact moment on the clock.
Planning Test
Build a weekly schedule that satisfies every constraint. Pick a scenario, fill the grid with role assignments, and meet every staffing rule before the timer runs out.
Triple Multitasking Test
Verify chained equations, spot duplicate icons, and keep your aircraft in the gap as hazard lines fall. Three tasks, one screen, one five-minute clock.
M-TASK Multitasking Test
Three tasks at once in the Schuhfried M-TASK format: work a symbol queue in its stated priority order, fill arithmetic blanks against a time bar, and reorder symbol rows to match a target. One clock, a neglected panel drags the whole score, and every run records a replay. Or go endless in Challenge, where the first mistake ends the run.
Task Manager
Enter new autopilot values quickly and accurately while cancelling red alerts within three seconds — the COMPASS-style two-task screen, on one shared keyboard.
ENAC Marble Tubes
Two boards of three tubes hold the same numbered marbles. Count the fewest moves that turn the top board into the bottom one, then click that number. A move takes the top marble of a tube and puts it on top of another tube. The tubes hold 3, 2 and 3 marbles. The exam format is 10 boards with 20 seconds each.
ENAC Slid Shapes
Two 6 × 6 grids and a tray of pieces. Slide pieces onto your grid until it matches the figure beside it. A light cell of a piece flips the square under it and a dark cell changes nothing, so two light cells on one square cancel out. The exam format is 5 boards with 3 minutes each.
ENAC Airspace Conflict Watch
Aircraft cross two bands of six airways, blue ones from right to left and violet ones from left to right. Each band has a grey zone that can never hold more than 4 aircraft, or more than 2 blue ones. You close airways to keep both zones within their limits, and you divert as few aircraft as you can. The exam format is 10 boards in a row.
