Unless I completely misunderstand how this works, I think 5 is the only one that will fill up. It then overflows, preventing any of the taller ones from filling. 7 is shallower but won't start filling until 3 gets fuller than 5, which it never will. This would be true whether the blockage between 2 and 3 is a mistake or not.

All of them are already full of air.

The number of people in these comments who already understand the self-siphoning nature of water with zero explanation required makes me so proud to be here among them.

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

I came in to comment, "it probably would probably be 5, but I think it would depend on the flow rate?"

But reading the other comments, it looks like I'm OOTL on something? 🧐

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?

I actually started to figure out the sequence...then I realized...fuck you, take my up vote

None. The water is not running.

I'd recognise that pattern anywhere, but I focused in on the problem and almost didn't notice your dasterdly deed
