Could it be all of them?
This particular answer received more than 500 likes—which means a lot of people agree with 4…9…7….5.
If you think that’s the answer too, you might want to take a deep breath, calm down and take another look.
There are some who answered differently too, which add to the fun.
If you say so…
Well, these answers got some valid points we wouldn’t want to ignore.
Did you try to solve it yourself? Well, the answer is quite simple but needs a little bit of observation there.
If you pay closer attention, you will see that pipes 4, 9 and 7 are actually closed. You might easily notice that pipe 7 is blocked and the same goes to pipe 4. Then the cup 9 seemed like it will get the coffee first because of the short distance between coffee and the cup, but later you will realize that the end of pipe 9 is closed to.
So the answer is only cup 5 will get filled with coffee!
Did you guess it right? You can now go ahead and enjoy your cuppa!
