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

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 159 points 1 month ago

It's only 5. It just overflows.

[-] regnn@infosec.pub 66 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 16 points 1 month ago

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.

Looks like they’re all full of air already

Depends on how fast the liquid is flowing in.

Or, actually, can they even "fill"? These are 2D objects.

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 67 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

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

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

[-] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 month ago

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.

All of them are already full of air.

  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.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

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 .

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago

The connection between 2 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?

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

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? 🧐

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago

im at a loss too
