F, there is a blocked pipe going from C to D, G would never get water
I so missed the blockage! Well there ya have it.. 🤣🤪 Q: would the lowest part of J lead to I then to K? (Totally ove thinking now! HA) Good one OP!!
No, when the water level in J gets to the pipe connected to L, the water level in the pipe between J and I will never get high enough to go into I.
They got me twice! I'm sitting here trying to decide if H is supposed to have a bottom or is the answer none of them. Oops, another blockage!
F......all the people saying G....there is a block between c, and D....water wont flow bros
Damn
G
Try F.
Zut alors! I stand corrected.
I thought it was H for a while!
Beat me to it.
Great minds!
I got F without help and I’m half drunk, but apparently the majority of people said G.

If there was no block, G would be correct.
My pick is F.
G
Yes, G.
How does the water get into G, when D above it gets zero water?
F cannot fill up because D must completely fill up first. J cannot get a drop of water until D can bear no more, and C is allowed to fill up to J.
F cannot get any water until J is filled, so F can't fill first.
A drips to B, drips to C, drops to D, drips to G.
G fills up, then D fills up, then C can finally start filling.
Only if the system is pressurized, or the mass of the water is sufficient, will F, H, E, or C ever be filled, simply because they don't have a pipe which enters their volume at the top.
Edit: Hot damn, there are blockages. I thought those were just graphical, not part of the puzzle. Silly me...
L will fill first, then.
Idk if the picture is drawn the way it is on purpose but D is completely cut off and will never fill according to the drawing
It has to be F because it’s full level is lower than the connection of L and J so until everything lower than that point is full it won’t fill up and drain down
I picked G originally, assuming the blockage lines on D and H were graphical as well.
Good points. I think L will fill up first.because it has a pipe that enters from the top followed by F. K can't be filled because J feeds into into it through I. Plus the exit from J is at the bottom and the water must rise up to enter I before It can enter K.
Depending on the weight, L could fill up almost exactly at the same time as F.
L gets a drop, and then the weight of the water pushes the water through the tubes into F.
F can never be more full than L.
L, therefore, will fill up first, and then equalize with F, and then fill up again.
D is blocked...so it cannot fill up at all. So D, G and E are useless and will never fill and neither will H as it too is blocked.
And J will never completely fill as it will spill over into L and F before it fills So F is the answer.
Yeah, I'm thinking L now.
L is too high. F and all the lower tubes will fill up before L fills up.
F can't fill up unless there is pressure in the system.
Water can't drip up.
According to my hubby (A PhD in Physics and a real genius) there is nothing in the system creating additional pressure. So the water follows the line of least resistance. He agreed with me it had to be F.
Gravity offers resistance though. The weight of the water in F means that L's weight needs to push down, right, and then up with enough force to overcome the weight of water as it builds in F.
F. I dont thing you need be a genius, although technically I am
Why?
F, if the pressure doesn't overwhelm the first tank.
F (the closed off pipes threw me off on H and D, didnt notice them at first and clearly a bunch of other people didnt notice either)
F
f
G
A. (Assuming water from the spigot flows faster than water flowing through the narrow connecting lines. But F if the tap is only dripping.)
Not D. This is fun
.....as much as I hate this non-Q forum sliding......is the flow rate going to remain a slow drip or will the spigot be opened up. ....also....what is the diameter of the first orifice?.....I need more information.....
G
Water always finds its level, and will follow other paths that open up.
According to the guy who created the puzzle in 2017, it is tank F as reported by him on factrepublic.com.
I figured F is the one. No genius here... just like solving puzzles.
