In other words you cant figure it out

Yeah, and it also depends on
1. whether the fluid is dripping in faster than it evaporates or leaks,
2. where the leaks are,
3. gravity,
4. temperature of the buckets,
5. etc.

I think you got it first I have F as the first one and in that order too...

I'm going with K because there's no drain at the bottom. Agree?

No. "K" never fills because "I" doesn't fill. In order to "I" to fill, the level has to go up to "C", but it doesn't because it drains into "L".

Once F fills up, it overflows and nothing ever goes to K.

Made the same mistake ... flow path to D is blocked. Flow to H is also blocked.

It's not really a mistake. Anyone who has spent a living reading ship and power plant piping plans and diagrams know that if the pipes/tanks are connected, then there is a potential flow path, though usually or often with an isolation valve being shown. The original dwg in this thread is sort of bogus. Imagine if original ship yard dwg's put in dead-headed legs from time to time just to see if people are paying close attention...lol.

Ah … p&id … Line blind valves … double block & bleed etc …
