A Twitter user posted this intricate coffee puzzle that people have been mulling over. In it, coffee is poured into a network of pipes that have several numbered cups at the bottom.

People were debating over which cup would receive the coffee first, seeing how every cup has different pipe designs and some look further or closer away.
4…9….7…..5 in that order

A closer look at the design shows that only one cup could be able to receive the coffee, no matter how close or far it was to the pipe. As it turns out, only cup #5 could receive coffee, considering that the rest of the pipes were sealed off. See? All those mental acrobatics were unnecessary. The answer was right there all along.
