Ha. Trick question! All of them are already full of air, and niether the flow rate nor the direction (or lack) of gravity was specified anyway. You lose. :)

OH İTS THE FUCKİNG LOSS COMİC

This diagram scratches my brain real good, especially thinking about it getting filled

I wish these were drawn as closed containers

All I know is, 7 is leaking out.

Dude, so dark… I love it.

  1. 5 which begins to overflow into the room
  2. 7
  3. 4 and 6
  4. 2 and 3
  5. 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!

Just pick this up and put it into a tub. Now they're all full. Take that math!

Go in side ways.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They are all full already, of air.

I think, Number 7 will stay empty for some time.

Depends on how much you turn on the tap. If you fürn it up completely its 1,else its 5.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Depends on diameter of the pipes leading out too. They look small in the image, but if they're big enough to handle the max flow out of the faucet, 5 will still fill up first.
