Now I only need someone with actual knowledge of fluid dynamics to correct all the mistakes in this explanation. Last time I had physics in school more than ten years ago.

WATER TAKES THE PATH OF LESS RESISTANCE

yes the better puzzle would have been to ask in what order to they fill up.

The wait was definitely worth it

Trick question: spout is not hooked up to a water source, so none will fill up
NotEvenMyFinalUsername
For once I wasn't expecting it
UnsolicitedGIFpics
That's what this all was about, actually. The rest took it way too seriously :)
ThePartyLeader
Depends on flow rate and what levels of water is considered full...
mallywanders
My cousin in law made an animation of it which included surface tension pulling water into the bottom right one ear the start

Only 5 will fill up. The others won't.
Wireman
Sorry, man. So far I've only learned fluid statics.
mahansm
Once #6 is full and starts to overflow it will limit the level in #4.
VitaminThoughts
I'll start! Mistake #1: that nozzle isn't attached to anything so it wouldn't have any water to put in to start.

Finally some common sense!

Oh you sneaky bastard... here is your +1 now good day to you. I Said Good Day.

You are welcome, mate! :-P

Cheers, mate :)

1 will never fill.

Seriously though: 20 favourites? Why?! :D

because dickbutt! ...and answering everyone's curious musing

This reminds me of the game Liquid Measure on Kongregate! Loved that game.
RodYung
What if 5 wasn't plugged
BiiGjoN
Well, now I feel stupid.
Demauscian
#4 shouldn't ever fill up.
VoidIncarnate
Is this what happens when you flood usersub?

Now someone make this where the entire gif fills up with water so this doesn't become a thing

I'm really bothered by the numbering.
EzraFell
I guess it's...
yumyums
All this water and you still so thirsty
iMrEnigma
Water is self-leveling and onces 5 starts to overflow 1 will never be filled higher

Flow rates, we need to know flow rates.
lurtsman
If we are really going to talk about flow rates, then#1 could be the correct answer if water to #1 vastly exceeds flow rate out.
Mypeemeltscopper
Unless the flow of the water in the 1# is Higher than the flow of the water from 1# to 5#
iMrEnigma
Hey man, dont outsmart me :(
Mypeemeltscopper
your observation is absolutelly right if we the flow frome the source is steady and equal to the one of the channel l 1->5
Kamica
*Outsmarting intensifies*
GasBandit
But that's demonstrably not the case since it shows 5 filling up before 1.
Mypeemeltscopper
you are right, in my defense we can't assume that the flow from the source is steady and doesen't increase when the 5 is full
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
Nigga you retarded, if channel 1-5 has a capacity of 60% of the faucets flow it will fill faster and 1 will overflow.
GasBandit
Biatch, look at the gif. 1's water level stops going up when the channel is reached, and doesn't rise again until 5 is full!
nananashisan
First off, it's a random gif by OP. We don't know the flow rates. Assuming a full-flow channel, 1 indeed won't rise anymore. [1/2]
