Double ck that Mike.

I went with 5 first. Nope, dats not it either. :yum:
 
I see my mistake. It'll be #5 because it appears there's a hole in the bottom of #7 And besides the outlet from #1 to #2 is higher than the outlet from #1 to #3 and the outlet from #3 to #4 is blocked.

:yum: Never saw the pipe blocked. Yup, it has to be 5.
 
I didn't see it until doc said to check again. Too much hurry hurry!! Doc, is that really a hole I see in the bottom of #7?

Three is the only one that will ever fill. Seven has a hole om the bottom. The rest have no access to water or an outlet below ful

Yep, 7 has a hole in the bottom and nary a drop will get to 5 because the pipe is blocked at the end. 3 will fill first.
 
3 will fill first. Doesn't matter that the hole is in 7, the water will never get there because the outlet to 3 is lower than the outlet to 2.

Yep the part about the outlet being lower is what I noticed I didn't even notice the hole.
Didn't we have another puzzle like this that I don't think anyone (that people agreed with) got right?
 
Yes, we had another thread with a few of these types of puzzles. I could not find that thread so I started a new one.
I thought we solved them all though.
 
Hey hey hey ....I know no one asked for it, but here is one more with a little twist. It's filling with BEER. Lets assume we have plenty of bottles to pour until at least one glass fills up.

none because they will be drank before they can fill!
 
Spoiler alert.
My answer is in white. View this text within the "I think #3 will fill first."
