Also, depends a lot on viscosity of the liquid. Honey would fill up 1 well before it would make a dent in reaching and filling up others.

None, due to excessive water loss
I'm curious what you mean by this.
Search for the last word of the comment.
The last word of the comment is loss.
Are people saying "None" because the spout into 'cup 5' is a mil lower than the rim of 'cup 5'? If so, then "None" could make sense.
Search for "loss meme"
Thanks for replying. I see now.
Thought I was in a forum of advanced hydro-dynamic engineers for a second there.
Yes, search the internet for "loss". You might want to add "meme" to it.
If you consider pipes between containers to be that long / narrow, the whole structure to be in the air (not vacuum) and edges of the pipes to be 90 degrees as in the picture, assuming the liquid is regular water, the water flow from the tap should be larger than what the pipe could move (if it can move water at all and not bubble clog due to straight edges) -- hence the 1 container should be first to fill up
You are assuming certain tap water velocity without any base.
Try filling up a horizontal 3 ml syringe tube drop by drop, you'll get bubbles, make it meter long and you'll get a lot of bubbles no matter the water velocity
Took me a while to get that this is loss

Everyone is saying 5 (which is correct), but no other cup will be actually get filled which is interesting
i think it is 5
Yo we need more posts like this
Fill up to what level? The first fill would be 1, but it wouldn't be full.
