Note that only the queen card has a red back while the two ace cards have blue backs!

The task is to identify the middle card as quickly as possible, when possible.

The participant must indicates his guess by pressing a key:

Note that the answer will sometimes be obvious (e.g. when the card to guess has a blue back, because only the Queen has a blue back; or when the middle card is be displayed).

Yet at other times, it will not be possible to decide (in that case, press ‘N’)
