Won't it depend on how fast the water can flow through each tube and out of the spigot?

Droplets imply it isn't flowing in a stream

Apart from 2 leaking the whole system:
1 with fast running water
3 & 4 with slow running water (see gif related)

>>8502633
3 can never fill up without 4 also filling up

>>8502620
but it literally depends on how fast the flow in and out are. There is literally not enough information to answer. If its literally drops compared to a hole (rate out higher than rate in)
then 3 is first. Its arguable that 4 would ever fill since the height of 3 is capped at the height needed to start filling in 4. But if you take the holes to have infinitesimal size then it works.

What's really startling is that your brought this shit here from facebook.

If the fill rate is fast enough, then 1 will fill before enough water has flowed through to fill 3.

Otherwise 3 and 4. Most likely 3 first, but it's possible for 4 to fill first: if 3 and 4 are filling equally, then the flow rate into 3 drops just as both are about to become full, the momentum of the water flowing from 3 to 4 could cause 4 to fill first.

You idiot
