5, but it also depends on the circumstances. What liquid is used, temperature, viscosity, etc. There's some material science stuff that's far beyond the intended scope of this question.

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.

Wouldn't scale and viscosity play a role? Seriously, imagine a river vs a capillary tube. Also how many dimensions? And forces involved? Is that a blockage between 2 and 3? Are the walls breakable? How will the fluid hold air? Are the lines into structure 5 lower than the walls? Is this in a vacuum?
There is no mention of any fluid involved, just a faucet. So lets think inside of the box and assume we have some form of 2d-gravity and it is going to rain a newtonian fluid? I think most surface area on the top is draining into 5. If it snows the whole sheet can turn white and the problem is gone, too.
Also, these structures are all 2 dimensional.
you may be overthinking it

We'll done.
It's a sad day. They all stay empty. Such a loss.

Also, you suck.
The actual joke aside, 4 has a hole in it, so it won't.
5 fills from 2, not 4.
Oh yeah, I got so losst
??? 4 and 5 are not connected
Doh, you're right, not sure what I was thinking.
Cheers, I got you bro.

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

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.
