Can you solve this puzzle faster than Einstein?
 

You've got less than 10 seconds.

I'm just going to take a quick stab at it and say A.

That's the first thing jumps out at me without studying it.

My guess: F

Well that excludes Einstein then. But hey, he's the branded definition of genius!

Panzer. What do I win?

G.........

I say we diversify genius.

Einstein isn't trans-intersectional enough.

:2 cents:

I say G as well

I'm going for G - About 15secs...

Pretty sure G

It can be G, but it depends of the pipe diameter and water pressure.

G i think

edit: nevermind...

everybody who said g needs glasses...

Water flows downwards, always looking for a lower position, based on gravity.

Let's take it from the beginning:

A: Will "never fill up" since it will quickly feed water into B.
B: Will also "never fill up" since it will quickly feed water into C.
C: Will fill "halfway up" and then start feeding water into J, since the pipe into D is blocked.
D: Will not fill at all, since the only pip leading into it, is blocked. Thereby neither E or G will get any water since their only connection is from D.
E: Will not fill at all, since no water will ever come into D.
F: Pass for now...
G: Will not fill at all, since no water will ever come into D.
H: Will not fill at all, since the only pipe leading into it is blocked.
I: Will only start filling up once J is almost full, since the water needs to move up in the pipe and will only do so with high water pressure in J.
J: Will fill amost halfway up and then start feeding water into L, which is placed lower than I.
K: Will take a very long time to fill up since it will take a long time for I to ever get any water into it.
L: Will get water from J pretty quickly and feed into F.

Correct answer is that the F bucket will fill up first.
Because,
Water will flow from A to B to C
then start filling J halfway up and then flow over into L
L will immediately start filling up the pipe and start pushing water into F.
Since the highest position in F is still at a lower point than the pipe leading into L, F will be completely filled up first.

F is the correct answer.

The answer is G and it's just obvious. Don't know why the one needs to be Einstein to see it.

I missed the blocked pipes - Oh well...

Ah the same here :) That's about attention. We assume that all the pipes are connected and don't consider the fake ones.

the blocked pipes are a cheap way to let everyone say the wrong one, it should have been just about the water flow. They fucked a fun test up with a lame gimmick.

You ask geniuses to solve a riddle that has been made by idiots (as always) (How else do you call people that put blocked pipes and thus blocked tanks into a system) What's the point of blocked tanks in a system... Every smart person would fucking remove the blocked tanks from the system as they have no fucking function at all...

The first question is how big are the tanks? If they are industrial sized huge tanks then fair enough, but if they are not enormous but more modestly sized, then filling "A' with a fire hose will fill 'A' up to overflowing before any real amount of water has left 'A' via the small pipe at the bottom...

yep because the water has to fill it b4 it can build up :2 cents::2 cents: f and then l

G is the fastest one

According to this any low level plumber is a 'genius'...

not being able to simplify is part of the problem... Generally, people with higher IQ's don't question that in which does not matter.

Call Roto Rooter or BRAIN ROOTER :laughing-

Maybe a plumberdrawing isn't a proper way to test an IQ.
So adding "tricks" to a drawing without adding context is a way to measure IQ... aha

So many people so many differences... saying anything about it is generalisation...
You could also say... people with low IQ see closed tanks (there isn't any logic in closed tanks, but... mkay...). People with higher IQ's that see closed tanks could think... hmmm... probably a drawing mistake...

F will fill first

G wont fill up, I got F in like 2 seconds. :upsidedow

I picked a letter really fast and thought I was smart then I read the answers and now I know I am still dumb!

d e and g are closed :upsidedow thank you op

I like puzzles like this, but this one is more of a trick than anything else. H should be the one to fill first but of course its blocked so it won't fill at all. The block is unexpected, and changes the puzzle from a science / gravity puzzle to just a plain old puzzle. Still kinda fun tho.

So if no blocks every time the answer would be the lowest tank?

Physics was my least favorite subject in school. Funny enough maths/algebra was my favorite one where I even participated in local "math olympics" and such.

Usually people great at math/algebra are at least average in physcis, but in my case it was the hardest one (maybe my lack of imagination).

It's funny, but that's correct. If a diameter of each pipe is smaller than a size of H2O molecule, the answer will be "A" :)

it depends on many things flow of the water is one also the pipe size.

Pretty sure there is no trick in here and it is not even worth mentioning.
Also for those talking about if pipes are narrower than the tap, again it is obviously not a trick (and you can even see a DROP of water painted instead of big flow to eliminate that thought).

As other noted, the only trick was blocked pipes.

F indeed
