Which tank fills up first?

Turn the spigot on full and A will fill first as its input is larger than its output.

How about E? Forget it. D would drain into G before it would ever fill E. F may fill before it backs up into L.

There's no input to D above it. It's blocked.

K is correct. Water can't get into D and therefore not into G. The water level in F can't get higher than the rim of H, (water seeks its own level so will just overflow H getting no higher than H's rim). That leaves K as the only one, (except H which is lower than K, with water entering but without an exit other than overflowing.

Oops! I didn't notice that H is blocked.

D is blocked off. So f is the answer not g as I said before

Oops again. I didn't take into account that J can't flow into I because J's output is lower than I's inlet.
Darn, F is correct after all. And here I had thought I was so smart.

Come on guys,
The correct answer is…. “F.”
As you can see, tank “C” will flow directly into tank “J” because there’s no actual connection between the “C” and “D” tank.
Then, “J” will flow downward into tank “L.”
From there, the water will drop below and fill tank “F.” There’s no actual connection from “L” to “H,” you’ll notice.
Can't get any simpler than that!

G is fed by d which is blocked, so g is wrong.

It's not so hard to figure if one assumes all connections are open. If there was no open connection, there'd be no point in drawing it in.
Good exercise in observation, & logic.

Nuh, Observation is the key. Back to the drawing board. that's another clue.
