 Fact 117: Between which steps are you more likely to spill your cup of coffee?

According to researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) Hans Mayer and Rouslan Krechetnikov who are studying fluid physics (fluid dynamics).

They have worked out, that you are more likely to spill your drink (cup of coffee because that is what their research was on) between your 7th and 10th step, this is because the average walking pace and movement of a human is similar to the movement (oscillation) of coffee in an average sized coffee cup (7cm in diameter and 10cm tall) there for the motion of the steps combined with the fact the human (us) is moving at a similar oscillation of the coffee, there for the coffee movement and oscillation rhythm is amplified and this means it is more likely to spill between your 7th and 10th step this doesn't mean it will it just means there is a greater chance it could, however, it depends on different variables and thickness of the coffee (how much milk you put in your coffee). 

They also worked out that there is a greater chance of it spilling if there is a sudden or unexpected noise that causes the person to wobble or suddenly move while still walking with the coffee, this could cause the coffee's oscillation rhythm to speed up and this means that it is more likely to spill and if the person Stumbles or changes (their walking) pace which is more likely to spill the coffee, this is also a more common occurrences or just more likely to happen if you are low on caffeine.
