It’s a sad day. They all stay empty. Such a loss.
I hate you so much right now. Also I think it’s 5
It was your comment that made me realise
It was your comment that made me realize, agtwr a day later. Damn
It’s only 5. It just overflows.
Depends on the flow from the faucet.
If it is filling 1 faster then water can move between then order will be 1->2->5
If it is slow enough then just 5 fills.
Everything else will be dry. Between 2 to 3 is sealed too. Without lids there is a lot of issues.

I think there’s a potential for 4 to get wet, even though it can’t fill.
If the faucet pressure and flow is so big that it spills out without filling the bucket, the spill could reach 4. Given that the walls of that bucket are extremely cold, the water could freeze over the drain, making that the first bucket to fill up.
So I would say 4.
Is the faucet flowing?
Because the inlet and outlet of 2 are the same size, 2 will always be filled last, if at all. Once 5 is filled, it will spill out the edges of the container rather than back flowing.
Technically if it’s faster, then at some point 3 will start to get water. Due to 2 overflowing and filling the space between the 2 cups.
6 probably, maybe would, but not 100% sure.
Which means that really 4 can’t fill up over time.
Yeah nothing will fill up until 5 is full. And then since 4 has a leak it, I think basically ONLY 5 will fill.

The line is blocked between 2-3, so 3,6,&7 don’t get anything.

Given enough pressure, bucket 1 will never be filled, and it will overflow to 2 and 3. Depending on the flow, 2 could be the first to fill up.
I like the explanatory drawing you provided.
3/6/7 can’t be filled, the hole between 2>3 is plugged.

even if there’s no floor, they will all fill eventually. it may cause another noah’s ark situation, but what matters is that all the containers will be filled.
And this is why math is a useless major
4 before 6 because of the hole in 4.
2 and 3 at the same time.

I got it! First, the free floating faucet will drop into bucket one. The impact will certainly break its connecting tube and broken 1 + faucet collapse into 4. Therefore 4 will be broken but full of shards.
If you’re lucky, one of the shards will block the hole at the bottom of 4
If you’re lucky, there is a bottom below the hole that everything is standing on. Otherwise everything is loss in a void.
1 fills up first. the spigot is much winder than the tube so the glass will fill faster than it can drain.
Also rule
That’s assuming the valve is open all the way and that there’s a bunch of water pressure behind the spigot. It should be entirely possible to create a very slow trickle by having a massive body of water behind the spigot (making it functionally infinite) but having only a small part of the entrance beneath the surface.
who’s to say it isn’t a slow faucet?
If its not properly installed I will call a plumber to fix it.
There’s only one “one” in the diagram, so I’m gonna say the one marked “1.” Pretty easy.
God dammit I was five minutes late

Depends on the flow rate, but most likely 1 if the tap is running fast. Otherwise I have no idea.
Also, what’s with these comments? What’s so special/clever about this pic?
Someone would say you’re at a…loss
Definitely cause your hint isn’t helping.
Yeah, a lot of people acting like this is some well known thing… I’ve been using the internet since the early 90s and I’ve never heard of this comic, let alone this specific strip so it must be some 4chan shit or other oldschool board.
It’s well known in the fact that once you’ve run across it and someone explains it, you’ll usually see it later on without trouble after a few times. Although some forms of it are quite subtle, like this one. The title is the hint, otherwise I doubt many would have caught on. That being said, if you never happened across it, you’d wonder what the hell everyone is talking about. About like any other meme really.

The boxes are placed such that they mimic the positions of the characters in the comic.
That comic got memed a lot, including a lot of people who “reduced” the characters to just their orientation and position in the comic.
Other examples:

:.|:;
- 5 which begins to overflow into the room
- 7
- 4 and 6
- 2 and 3
- 1
This is assuming this is a cross section of something 3d and not something 2d otherwise air packets would get trapped and prevent some of this.
5 and 4 are the only ones getting water other than 1 and 2. 3 has a solid line blocking the flow into it, and even if that wasn’t there, since 4 has a hole/drain in the bottom and 5 can overflow, 3 can’t fill enough to reach the outflow. 5 is the only one that can fill up.
Wrong! The room will begin filling with water from the overflow!
If they bothered to drill a drain into #4, I’m sure there is a floor drain.
I’m viewing the edges of the picture as impermeable.
Just pick this up and put it into a tub. Now they’re all full. Take that math!
But which first

Also, you suck.
Depends on how fast the liquid is flowing in.
Or, actually, can they even “fill”? These are 2D objects.
Is this that “loss” comic? Why is everyone mad?
Yes
The actual joke aside, 4 has a hole in it, so it won’t.
5 fills from 2, not 4.
??? 4 and 5 are not connected
Doh, you’re right, not sure what I was thinking.
Cheers, I got you bro.
Oh yeah, I got so losst
And 3 is blocked
i hate you.
edit: read replies before telling me that 7 is walled off
but ignoring my loss, if everything is pressurized i think 7 if unpressurized i think 5
7 won’t ever fill because the pipe from 2 to 3 is blocked off.
well i didn’t see that lol
Ignoring the walled off stuff, can you ELI5 why pressurized vs not changes things and how so?
Might be an airlock? It’s hard for me to predict how fluids will really flow
my logic was that it’s the shortest way and therefore has the least resistance and therefore the highest flowrate.
while unpressurized gravity would take over
The pipe from 2-3 is walled off though.
well i didn’t see that lol

Wait… Fuck!
this is right. Even if 2 to 3 is open.
The only other candidate is 1. If the faucet has much higher flow than the pipe from 1 to 2 can drain away, then 1 can fill up faster than it drains.
5 is correct but this is a loss leader.
All I know is, 7 is leaking out.
Dude, so dark… I love it.
I wish these were drawn as closed containers
All of them are already full of air.
What if this experiment is done in space near a black hole
Is full of Hawking radiation and dreams.
