Mind-boggling tea and coffee brainteasers

A new set of brainteaser puzzles are leaving office workers scratching their heads.

Office furniture retailer, Furniture At Work, has produced the images in the hope of providing something to give staff a distraction from work. It claims less than one in five people were able to solve the puzzles in under two minutes

The theme of the puzzles is the "office workspace" and features the "tea-break" as a fun way to engage your brain to solve the puzzles. A recent study, by Furniture At Work found that 12% of people don't take any breaks during a working day.
