Which Cup Fills First—and What Your Choice
At first glance, the “coffee-through-pipes” image looks like a straightforward logic puzzle: liquid flows through tubes toward cups A–F,
and you’re asked which fills first. But the real focus isn’t the coffee—it’s how your brain reacts under uncertainty.
Whether you answer quickly or trace each path reveals how you approach problems.
Choosing A or F suggests trust in momentum and quick commitment. That confidence helps in fast situations, but it can miss hidden blockers if you don’t slow down.
Picking B points to a preference for the “most reasonable” option—measured, fair thinking that can feel heavy under time pressure.
Those who chose C or D tend to value structure and proof, especially when a puzzle feels designed to trick you. This strength supports accuracy,
though it can lead to over-checking. Choosing E reflects intuition and “pattern sense,” reading the puzzle like a story rather than a diagram.
The takeaway isn’t which cup wins, but what happens before you decide.
The strongest thinkers know when to trust instinct,
when to analyze, and when to question whether something is missing.
