People are losing their minds over this coffee puzzle

A tricky coffee puzzle is going viral on the internet as people struggle to work out which cup will be filled with coffee first.

The puzzle, which was posted on Twitter earlier this week, is made up of one funnel pouring into various pipes and various coffee mugs.

Do you know which mug will be filled with coffee first?

 

Some people have guessed that they “all get it at the same time” while others study the shape of the faucets and square containers to get the correct answer.

However, if you look closely, there is one thing that gives away the correct answer.

One Twitter user wrote, “Noticed that not all faucets are open... the ONLY ONE that will even get fluid in it is 5.”

Cup number 5 is the only cup whose route isn’t blocked so if you chose that mug as the answer then you are correct.

After finding out the correct answer, many were shocked.  

One user wrote, “How did I not notice that?”
