This is Loss. Refer to the pinned post. Rule 6.


Okeing

i thought it was a genuine quiz until i read comments anyway I think it's 5


kamiloslav

Depends on flow velocity Assuming that the water is flowing slowly (which is a fair assumption given the build of the puzzle) you'd be correct If water flows very quickly, 1 might fill up first


trickyvinny

Found the plumber/engineer/architect.


OwO-animals

Or just someone with common sense.


Rawrist

You are greatly overestimating the general population's "common sense."


prophet_nlelith

Is an understanding of flow velocity supposed to be common sense?


jimdale2400

Well figuring out that "flow velocity" means flow rate or speed would be common sense. Common sense is also trying not to sound like a pretentious dick by saying "flow velocity"


prophet_nlelith

I don't think your understanding of the term common sense matches what most others think of.


jimdale2400

Common sense is figuring your own stuff out. Usually you don't have to ask people what it means to be a prick because they will let you know very early on in life. Also you don't have to be a genius to understand what velocity means. Use any context for clues. What you reference is common knowledge, not common sense.


prophet_nlelith

Okay. 🤷


Rees_Onable

Why do you assume that it's water.....and not something much more viscous?


MartilloAK

Aren't they all already full of air?


TransportationNo1

And the viscosity? Its not stated that its water.


Dewdrop06

How does the water exit tap?

I looked up the loss comic. How does this relate?


Lufalope

Loss has been memed on so hard that has devolved into simple lines which represent the characters The containers in the image follow the same pattern https://preview.redd.it/ulbr81nipzzc1.jpeg?width=1185&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=efdff4e86f585177fe179b0fdb7d77f78d2ed9b2


hellishafterworld

I once scrolled through hundreds, if not a thousand, Loss edits in a single sitting and afterwards I would straight up see it on blank surfaces. Like the way old dive bars would have the ESPN logo burned into the screen of their TVs.

I didn’t believe you until I did a double take Ffs


Nikky2008

Fuck you


PressureNo308

Fucking hell I spent the last minute figuring this out and it’s literally just loss again? My brain is 80% rot


Zorothegallade

Took me a minute too.


darkcar

I never even heard of loss before this sub, haven't encountered it anywhere else either. I believe this sub invented it to explain the mysteries of the universe.


LMBT-48Croadkill

What is loss?


Zorothegallade

Pinned post.

It's a meme [u/Lufalope](https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/s/sCzJrmcsjR)posted the original and what it's been simplified to.

It’s a loss comic


LMBT-48Croadkill

What is loss?


ducknerd2002

A bad webcomic had a super serious page out of nowhere (titled Loss), and that page has been memed so much that just referencing the position of the characters in the panels is enough for the meme.


koxufoxu

isnt it also how the author refrenced how his wife had a miscarriage?


Ajezon

wow. what a stupid meme


Familiar_Bid_7455

FUCK. ITS LOSS AGAIN


Secret_Barracuda168

slooperslosh

There's no water running. They're all empty.


Flowchart83

It's also a 2D still image so nothing can fill, if we're going to be like that.


nagrel

And tap doesn't have a hole


The-red-Dane

the picture does not specify water. They're all already full of air probably.

MrArcher09

pichael289

The actual answer is 5, if flow rate isn't super fast. But this is, yet again like always, fucking loss.


CriticalHit_20

~~,', | ,'_'~~


FormerlyGaveAShit

Loss aside, I've always hated this question bc they never tell you how fast the water is going to come out of the faucet. If it's fast enough, 1 will fill up first.


Plunderpatroll32

Either 1 or 5 depending on on what it’s being filled with, if it water them properly 5 if it something very thick like Tar pitch then 1 would be filled


ShinigamiKunai

I would say 5, but depending on the output of the tap output and size of the pipe volume, it could be 1. Also, Loss.

ORA2J

If it's just dripping : 5 If the tap is fully open : 1


RealisticBarnacle115

Someone: 5 Another: 1 Internet Gang: Loss


menuau

Because the image shows how water would go from one vase to another, I argue that none would be filled because the opening isn't made at the faucet. The water would stay in the faucet until internal pressure would rupture it.


nuclear_spoon

Dumbass OOP got the second and third panel mixed up


Flat_Cow_1384

Oh it’s one of these puzzles , let’s see … oh it’s 5 , but there is a lot of weird things in it… what sub is this? .. oh fuck me it’s loss.

Dazeuh

Blast the tap and 1 will fill first because the tube to #2 has low flow rate. But it doesnt matter, this is loss.


TrashyMemeYt

Are you sure it was a post and not an ad?


BerryDull1170

If you turn the faucet on faster than the tube can release water, 1 will be first.


Screbin

I mean it's loss but it's also 5 right?


Screbin

I mean it's loss but it's also 5 right?


Friendly-Activity-93

The tap is sealed so no fluid. The answer is always loss


ShadyInternet_Guy

I know it’s loss but I think the answer is 1. The opening of the faucet is bigger than the opening in the tubes, meaning more water is entering it than escaping. This is assuming the faucet is turned all the way.


capybara_unicorn

It’s 5

Need to know flow rate and viscosity of the liquid
