Cool footage has emerged from Canada of a man demonstrating an awesome brain teaser conundrum involving three cups and three sticks.

In the video, filmed yesterday in Montreal, the filmer takes three cups and three sticks. The aim is to build a bridge between them strong enough to support another cup, but the three cups are placed too far away from each other for the sticks to balance between them.

The filmer eventually shows people how it's done, but you should definitely give it a go yourself first before watching the end.

Here is an awesome brain-teaser: Using three equal-length sticks (knives, whatever) and 3 cups placed far enough away from each other that the sticks fall in between, create a bridge between any of the cups strong enough to support another cup.
