Wrong. Played in the space of one beat.

Just depends on the kind of triplets.
Triplets don't really relate to the "beat" but
to the note value.

Three 8th trips = 1 quarter note
That would be "one beat" if you're in 4/4 time.
That would be a half a beat in 2/2 time.
That would be two beats in 6/8 time

In 4/4 time, three half note trips = four beats.

In 4/4 time, three quarter note trips = two beats.

Triplets don't refer to the number of "beats" since
that can vary. More correctly, triplets are three notes
occupying the space that would normally be occupied by
TWO notes of the same value.

3 quarter trips = 2 normal quarter notes
3 eighth trips = 2 normal eighth notes
3 acid trips = lots of weird textures and colors
