How to know that the node of a specific type is being viewed for the first time?

Question

I want to display a block on the node page if it is being viewed for the first time. After that that block will not be displaying.

It will be for all the nodes of a given content type.

I know the Drupal put the node in the cache if it is being viewed for the first time but I can't found its code.

Is it possible? Any Ideas?

Viewed by some specific user or all user ?

Used the core statistics module.

and then on node view used the function statistics_get() function and then check it the total count is less than 1.

Use Views Blocks and filter it with Content: Has new content to know if it is being viewed for the first time.
