A puzzle for the most observant: can you guess which container will fill up first?

The fun little extra

Want to spice up the game with family or friends? Hide a few sections (print, fold, cover) and ask the others to reconstruct the likely route before revealing the complete diagram. Guaranteed laughs… and a brain workout!

The moral of the story:  in these puzzles, as in life, the shortest and clearest path often wins—provided you pay attention to the details. To move quickly, keep in mind the need  to check for obstacles  before drawing any conclusions.
