We have this cup holder. It’s been causing me problems. Why is that? You might unreasonably ask. Well, our cups tend to come in pairs. There are three hooks at each level. It just doesn’t work. I had thoughts of keeping any pairs off the stand. That doesn’t work, you pretty much always end up with at least one pair.

The problem I have here is That the randomness of the mugs jars my sensibilities. I have to come up with a strategy for resolving this. So I though OK, if I put one random mug on a hook, that leaves eight for four pairs. Then the odd one is very discordant.
Then, last night, I thought I had discovered the solution; Three pairs, two cup to a level, and the third slot on each level is occupied by a random cup;

The trouble is I can’t really show you the 3D view around the rack to show you the pairs. I did try doing a panorama and walking around the rack, but that didn’t work (I think it was probably my approach – I’ll have to try the technique again, but not necessarily on the cup rack. Of course my wife doesn’t understand my obsession with this and thinks I’m bonkers. I don’t really mind that at all. I’m still not satisfied with the Feng Shui of the mug rack. I suspect I never will be.
