Well, it's indeed 5... but what happens next will blow your mind!

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

For once I wasn't expecting it

That's what this all was about, actually. The rest took it way too seriously :)

Depends on flow rate and what levels of water is considered full...

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.

Sorry, man. So far I've only learned fluid statics.

Once #6 is full and starts to overflow it will limit the level in #4.

I'll start! Mistake #1: that nozzle isn't attached to anything so it wouldn't have any water to put in to start.

1 will never fill.

This reminds me of the game Liquid Measure on Kongregate! Loved that game.

What if 5 wasn't plugged

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Well, now I feel stupid.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

#4 shouldn't ever fill up.

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.

I guess it's...

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

All this water and you still so thirsty

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Water is self-leveling and onces 5 starts to overflow 1 will never be filled higher

Flow rates, we need to know flow rates.

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 0

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.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Unless the flow of the water in the 1# is Higher than the flow of the water from 1# to 5#

Hey man, dont outsmart me :(

9 years ago | Likes 105 Dislikes 1

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

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

*Outsmarting intensifies*

9 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 2

But that's demonstrably not the case since it shows 5 filling up before 1.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Nigga you retarded, if channel 1-5 has a capacity of 60% of the faucets flow it will fill faster and 1 will overflow.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

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!

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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]
