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.
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.
4 before 6 because of the hole in 4.
2 and 3 at the same time.
3/6/7 can’t be filled, the hole between 2>3 is plugged.
