How this works — 3-minute missions
- Pick any mission — any order. Read it, then do the Quick check: say your answer out loud before you reveal it.
- Earn a star by finishing that mission's short round. Ten-ish stars = Study Master.
- Laugh + move. The jokes and brain-breaks aren't extra — they're how your brain glues the ideas in.
