    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.

          If they bothered to drill a drain into #4, I’m sure there is a floor drain.

    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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

          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.

          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.

          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.

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

          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.

              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.

    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.

      Forget all about the water, and the question.

      If necessary, reread the title.

                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.

                  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.

    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 .

        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.

      1 can also fill up if the flow from the faucet is higher than what can exit through the pipe connecting to 2.

      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.
