It has since raked up more than 9.2 million views, and the numbers are still increasing. Many even shared answers in the comments section after solving the brain teaser. Here’s how X users reacted to this brain teaser:“7. So simple,” posted an individual. Another added, “2. For sure.” “3 is the right answer,” claimed a third. “It depends on how quickly water is flowing out of the spigot. If it is coming out faster than the amount that is diverted to 2 and 3, cup 1 could be filled first,” commented a fourth. “1 not going to fill because water is always going to be leaving it. 2 always leaks water to 7 so can’t be that. 7 has a hole at the bottom so it can’t fill. 6 and 4 are blocked off with no way for water to get in. And 5 the tube that leads to it is blocked off at the end so no water can get to it. Which means 3 can only fill up because the tube to 5 will eventually fill up and then the cup will be able to fill up again. Finally the correct answer is 3,” declared a fifth. “Exciting news!
