    3. Yes; note the blocked pipes.

      Actually, 3 won't get full, as it leaks into 6.

        I'd say 6 with 4 a close second

          Not 3. But which gets filled after 6? It's a trick question.

            Has anyone noticed the closure in 6 ? The back flow from 6 will fill 3 first. Extra points for 4 second

                  None of the glasses will get full. #1 will get nearly half the bottle, #3 will get the rest.

                    Yeah... I didn't notice the blocked pipes.

                      If one pours fast enough, #1. But the source is too small to fill any glass.

                        I would have said 7 because it is fed from the lower take off of the glasses above.

                          #3 really does fill first unless there isn't enough beer. Both pipes out of #3 are blocked, as is the one from 2 to 6. The pipe from 1 to 2 doesn't ever get any, as 3 will overflow before the level rises that high.

                            The bottle is clearly unable to fill a whole glass when 1, 2 & 3 are connected. Unless it's wider in an unknown third dimension.

                            I'll pass on such ill-defined crapclickbait, thanks.

                              The bottle has a cap on it.
