2 and then 4 cannot get because theres duct below in 1. 5, 6 and 7 has their ducts blocked. So, noo way.
2+4+5+6+7 = 24
Now let's divide by 7
24/7 = 3.428571428
2 decimal places is 3.43
Am I correct?
Congratulations @Peyton!
Explanation: When the liquid enters 1, it sinks down and enters through the lower exit pipe into cup 3. Cup 3 will become filled and overflow because the pipes into 7 and 6 are blocked.
And cup 2 will not get inflow because the liquid keeps overflowing in 3 without rising inside 1 to reach the pipe leading into 2.
So, only 2 cups get flow while 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 never get flow.
That's total 24 divided by 7.
Answer is 3.43!
