Are you sure there is enough coffee in the pot to fill #5? I’m late but took 13 seconds to see the obvious and attempted to visualize how much coffee the pot held. I just knew this had to be a trick question.

4, 7, and 9 are all blocked. Looks like #5.

Empty coffee pots get refilled. I’m not worried about it running out.

Yes it is. It seems pretty simple that the coffee will spill over into the lowest outlet at each level, but somehow this trips people up.

And yes, they are the same people voting for our politicians and hence our governments.

Scary that it took 24 posts before someone got it right.

Ain't that the truth! These "millenial freepers" and their public school education demonstrate everything that's wrong with America these days.

Oh yeah: GET OFF MY LAWN!!

If those graphic blockages are intentional, then #5. If they weren’t meant to be there, #4.

4, 9, and 7 are blocked off, so it’s 5. Eventually.

It appears there are blockages on #4, #7 and #9, leaving #5 as the only possibility.
