Can You Solve The Coffee Puzzle That's Left The Internet Baffled?

A coffee puzzle has left the people of Twitter scratching their heads.

Twitter user @_herbeautyxo shared the puzzle, which sees someone pouring coffee into a beaker connected to various pipes. You’re then left to guess which cup gets the coffee first.

While it might seem obvious at a glance (we presumed number four would get the coffee first), it’s not that simple. As Twitter user @HALFyute soon found out...

4...9....7.....5 in that order

Still baffled? The answer is coffee cup number five.

As Twitter user @Popalop718 explains, it’s not possible for the other cups to get coffee as they are blocked off. See the red marks below.

Only number 5 will get coffee. It's not possible for ghee others to get coffee. Look at the red marks. pic.twitter.com/XQQdT66h28
