Unfortunately, that\u2019s not the right answer.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/3dc%5C/c26%5C/e1aa6c58459740fbc752cd8a97.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>Riddles like this usually require some out-of-the-box thinking. You might be tempted to think the answer would be that all the cups would get the coffee at the same time. Close, but that\u2019s not the right answer either.\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/515%5C/7b8%5C/9b81d55d17a3b5291c9ac2bbd7.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>You might also assume that maybe there\u2019s not enough coffee, meaning that some, if not all, of the cups could end up not getting coffee at all. You\u2019re getting warmer, but let\u2019s just say you\u2019re overthinking things. We never said how much coffee is in the pot or if we have a back-up pot for such an occasion, but just assume we do.\n</p><p>Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re going to give you the answer&hellip;\n</p><h3>Are you ready for the answer?\n</h3><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"aligncenter\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/85c%5C/d61%5C/10dd3357d8a2e6fb4dc6d28709.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><p>It\u2019s not complicated. Just take a close look at the picture. The answer is 5&hellip; and that\u2019s it. All the other cups wouldn\u2019t get anything because the tubes leading to them are blocked off at some point. You see, even though the riddle asked for the cups in order, that didn\u2019t mean more than one cup was going to get anything.\n<figure style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/d27%5C/e2c%5C/326d7759f3ad1d386821aa566c.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"547\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>\u00a9 The Simpsons \/ Fox\n<p>What are some other riddles you like to use to test people?
