I’m assuming it’s 7 but these things always have some smart arse answer the bottle is already filled but that’s not a glass 4,5,6 or 7 would fill first if you directly pored it into them but if you are poring it into 1 with that plumbing system I guess it’s 7.

3 100%

5

1 would need to be filled before 2 gets anything, by then 7 would be filled.

7 seems too obvious though

 

[CroydonDog]

Are people really this stupid?

 

[chemdog]

answer is 3 btw

Oh because there is a little line I don’t pay that much attention. I knew it would be a smart arse thing. What’s the point of running a drainage line to a tank if it’s going to be capped off. Stupid mind teasers.

8.. its 8 isn't it

We have a winner.

It's your turn for a brain teaser.

Is it? That looks like a 375mL beer bottle and they look like a typical schooner glasses. Yes - the outlets are closed (thats the trick) but you're losing 100ish mL in glass 1. So the answer is basically none because whomever though they were smart with the beer and glass sizings out smarted themselves.

The bottle is also tipped up without the cap on. So, we have to assume its already empty and therefore no glass will fill up...

fair observation

Okey dokey - have fun with this.

Start with $50.
I spend $20 - leaves me $30 left
I spend $15 - leaves me $15 left
I spend $9 - leaves me $6 left
I spend $6 - and I'm broke.

Yet $30 + $15 + $6 is $51.

So where did the other $1 come from?

You're all wrong. The answer is "my glass". It's also the first to be emptied.

I've seen this one in the past. It's one of the mathematical fallacies, or mathematical errors that can be made when you attempt to calculate the wrong thing. I won't explain it but it's the cause of many issues in both finance and programming.

I always like the ones that mess with you. For example:

"In NSW, can a man legally marry his widow's sister?"

or the classic one..

"If a plane crashes on the border of China and Russia, in which country do you bury the survivors?"

How is it 3 when you have 7 taking from it?
