I still go for 6.. The stopping points in 5 and 3 will take the water level up to 6.. and will continue to run down 6 before even reaching the 3 over flow..

Which has no unblocked tube going to it.

[klondike]

oh, and depending on the flow rate, capillary action might make the overflowing tea 'stick' to the tube as it angles back

Should I have said surface tension?

[klondike]

Same force involved in that and making a liquid "stick" to a surface.

I think you may be overthinking a Facebook puzzle though.

[crabbyob]

not at all, this was a multi-facetted puzzle, not everyone sees the different levels..
