What are flash questions for?
A flash question is answered in seconds, in your head. Strung into a short series, they keep sharp the basics — times tables, fractions, conversions, formulas — that longer exercises already assume. Every wall is drawn afresh: the same series never comes back identical, unless you keep its address.
