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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

And this is why math is a useless major
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.

3/6/7 can’t be filled, the hole between 2>3 is plugged.

It was your comment that made me realise
