Amusingly, I mistrust my attention and visual ~memory so much that I reasoned I would find the "easier" task just as hard unless it was literally like 1 vs 3 dots, or unless it stayed up so long that I could count (maybe harder, since I'd likely get more annoyed at myself for missing questions I believed to be easier). I ignored this option because I was fairly sure it'd just mostly waste 200 points.
I went back after completing to check out this option and don't feel like it made the task noticeably easier (to me).
