None. The water is not running.
😡
All the candidates are thanked for their time and asked to leave except you, who get invited to join MIB.
Morons In Blindfolds
Looks like they’re all full of air already
I hate you so much right now. Also I think it’s 5
It’s only 5. It just overflows.
Depends on the flow from the faucet.
If it is filling 1 faster then water can move between then order will be 1->2->5
If it is slow enough then just 5 fills.
Everything else will be dry. Between 2 to 3 is sealed too. Without lids there is a lot of issues.
I think there’s a potential for 4 to get wet, even though it can’t fill.
If the faucet pressure and flow is so big that it spills out without filling the bucket, the spill could reach 4. Given that the walls of that bucket are extremely cold, the water could freeze over the drain, making that the first bucket to fill up.
So I would say 4.
Because the inlet and outlet of 2 are the same size, 2 will always be filled last, if at all. Once 5 is filled, it will spill out the edges of the container rather than back flowing.
Technically if it’s faster, then at some point 3 will start to get water. Due to 2 overflowing and filling the space between the 2 cups.
6 probably, maybe would, but not 100% sure.
Which means that really 4 can’t fill up over time.

Is the faucet flowing?
Yeah nothing will fill up until 5 is full. And then since 4 has a leak it, I think basically ONLY 5 will fill.

The line is blocked between 2-3, so 3,6,&7 don’t get anything.

Given enough pressure, bucket 1 will never be filled, and it will overflow to 2 and 3. Depending on the flow, 2 could be the first to fill up.
I like the explanatory drawing you provided.
even if there’s no floor, they will all fill eventually. it may cause another noah’s ark situation, but what matters is that all the containers will be filled.
And this is why math is a useless major
3/6/7 can’t be filled, the hole between 2>3 is plugged.

4 before 6 because of the hole in 4.
2 and 3 at the same time.

It was your comment that made me realise
It was your comment that made me realize, agtwr a day later. Damn
I actually started to figure out the sequence…then I realized…fuck you, take my up vote
:3
?
They said :3
1
nothin wrong with me
2
Nothin Wrong With Me
3
NOTHING WRONG WITH ME
Neun
5
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.
5
Also, you suck.
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
The actual joke aside, 4 has a hole in it, so it won’t.
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.
5 fills from 2, not 4.
And 3 is blocked
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?
you may be overthinking it
It does not specify what they are being filled with. They are all already filled with air.
Also, these structures are all 2 dimensional.
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.
5
Depends on how much you turn on the tap. If you fürn it up completely its 1,else its 5.
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.
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.
Why 5?
1 fills up halfway, which then overflows in 2. The bottom of 2 has a pipe running out of it, which is directed into 5
I depends on the inflow vs outflow of 1 - it might fill up first. But otherwise, yeah, i would say 5 as well.
5
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.
You are correct and I agree, but look again.
At the comments.
Then at the image.
Forget all about the water, and the question.
If necessary, reread the title.
Groan.
By far the most annoying meme and it’s not even funny.
Goddammit.
Please help. I have nightmares of being in a room where everyone else is just waiting patiently for me to remember the thing I forgot/figure out what is happening.
Help
This ‘loss’ thing is so annoying.
Yeah I don’t get it. Why does anyone care if the comic was set up that way and if other people copied it. It’s not funny? It’s not anything?
It’s an in-joke.
The comic used to be big in the ~2000s nerd space, mostly by being one of the earlier video game focused webcomics that hit it big. The author had/has a… polarizing personality and the comic itself went from dick jokes and game references to super serious miscarriage storyline at the drop of a hat.
Que endless satire.
I have never understood the meme but that clues me in a bit, thank you.
Fyi, it’s “Cue endless satire.”
Que is Spanish for “what” and is pronounced similar to Kay.
Queue is a bunch of extra letters standing in line after the “Q”
Cue is “it’s time” - imagine an actor backstage being poked with a pool cue to get them going.
Boo lol
Yeah I just got it seeing it for the second time in my feed lol
I think you’re right. Unfortunately, we’ll still have to chalk this up as a loss.
Like losing the game? That was also annoying and the internet stopped doing it eventually.
1 fills up first. the spigot is much winder than the tube so the glass will fill faster than it can drain.
Also rule
who’s to say it isn’t a slow faucet?
If its not properly installed I will call a plumber to fix it.
That’s assuming the valve is open all the way and that there’s a bunch of water pressure behind the spigot. It should be entirely possible to create a very slow trickle by having a massive body of water behind the spigot (making it functionally infinite) but having only a small part of the entrance beneath the surface.
All of them are already full of air.
What if this experiment is done in space near a black hole
Is full of Hawking radiation and dreams.
5 will be the only one that will ever fill up unless you really crank up the pressure in which case 7 will also fill but very slowly. 5 and 7 are open containers and there’s a hole in the bottom of 4. But if it’s water coming out of a tap then only 5 will fill .
The connection between 2 and 3 is blocked.
Didn’t notice that.
Even if you assume that it is not blocked, it is still 5. The pipe from 2 to 3 is never reached because 4 leaks out the hole in the bottom. Assume that the hole in the bottom is a flaw and 4 still leaks out the top before the pipe to 3 is reached.
Damn, I didn’t even notice that.
1 can also fill up if the flow from the faucet is higher than what can exit through the pipe connecting to 2.
There it is!!! That connector is too narrow, only way it isnt 1 is if the pressure is criminally low.
Someone’s never been to the UK… But also the volume of 5 is significantly less than 1.
