Are you ready to solve the latest viral head-scratcher?
Twitter user @Purp shared a coffee-lover's brainteaser last week and it quickly went viral with most people getting the answer wrong.
The puzzle shows a hand pouring coffee down a series of pipes.
You are then asked to guess which of the four cups will get their hot drink first.

The correct answer?
Is cup 5.
Why?
Because the pipes leading to cup numbers 4, 9, and 7 are all blocked.
