None of them! That one drop of water won't even cover the bottom of # 1.          :ychain:

If it is a continuous flow then # 5 would fill first.

If "filled firstly" means filled to the top. it's 5.

4, 5, 6 and seven wont be filled because some blocked pipes and holes

that means 2 cant fill up either because it drains into 7

1 only drains into 3 and 3 is the only one with pipes attached that cant drain into others so i say

ITS 3

OK , goodywoodshoes explained it perfectly.    All you guys that picked 3,  take a bow,  or maybe you just got lucky.

Just found this and checked the diagram profusely.

It bugged me that the bottom read "99% will fail" so my honey and I started looking carefully...

We ended up with 3 as well.

 

Good one!!

Thanks for posting.

Unless the faucet dumps water in it faster than the connecting tubes can drain it #2 would never get a drop in it before #3 fills up. :)

I hate these things. I don't see how 3 can get more than 1/2 full until after 5 fills..:think: nevermind , just saw the pipe going into 5 isn't....

Close Jim.  Actually I saw this on facebook.     After doing an in depth study of the inlet and outlet elevations of each cup and calculating the differential head pressure across each cup, determining rates of flow, I confidently selected #4.

        Then Mrs K glanced  at the picture a few seconds and informed me cups 4,5,and 6 would not see a drop of water due to the blocked pipes and 2 and 7 would not hold water due to the hole in botton of #7.    That leaves #3 as the only one that can fill up.

 

    I'll still wear my favorite Tee Shirt though.
