      If the blocked pipes are real (into D and into H) then looks like F fills first. Key point: Liquid leaves J only through L

          Wouldn't the pressure of it leaving the faucet matter? High pressure water leaving faucet with a smallish exit for A to B means A first?

          True. But seems to me, the drippy image of the faucet precludes this assumption.

          Disagree. I think G fills first. Lower right on C would cause J to not fill. Water goes into D and straight into G

          It's winter here in New Zealand so "A" because it freezes on contact with the tank but assuming it keeps flowing and doesn't boil off "F" 👍

          What about K? Adhesion would pull the water through the tube to I

          Only if the pressure was high enough I would think. A drip drip drip wouldn't cut it, and the image seems to imply that kind of flow.

          Then again, if the pressure WAS high enough for the water to make it to I, A would've already filled up long before K saw any water
