I hate you so much right now. Also I think it's 5

[–] [email protected] 160 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's only 5. It just overflows.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think there's a potential for 4 to get wet, even though it can't fill.

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

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.

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?

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.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (4 children)

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.

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.

This ‘loss’ thing is so annoying.

By far the most annoying meme and it's not even funny.

I think you’re right. Unfortunately, we’ll still have to chalk this up as a loss.

1 fills up first. the spigot is much winder than the tube so the glass will fill faster than it can drain.

Also rule

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

who's to say it isn't a slow faucet?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

If its not properly installed I will call a plumber to fix it.

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

All of them are already full of air.

OH İTS THE FUCKİNG LOSS COMİC

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)
  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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (6 children)

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.

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

Depends on how much you turn on the tap. If you fürn it up completely its 1,else its 5.

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The pipe from 2-3 is walled off though.

There's only one "one" in the diagram, so I'm gonna say the one marked "1." Pretty easy.

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?

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? 🧐

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

im at a loss too
