J would have to get filled before flowing into I to fill K, if that happens L would have already been filled.
Why would it only fill to the lowest point of L?
The pipe leading to H is blocked off. Unless a rain cloud forms over H, thats how it would fill first.

As the water flows from L to F and starts to fill F...once the water level in F gets equal to the bottom of L, the resistance to continue filling F is greater than the resistance for the water to start filling up L.
Anyone that's every flooded part or all of their house can attest that water seeks the path of least resistance.

Imbarrie I hope u got the answer for this...lol.
I'm pretty sure gavity will over come that. May depend on the speed at which water moved through the system, but as long as it's open at the top so it doesn't have trapped air causing a counter pressure then I don't see it preventing the flow.

If the drain pipe from "A" can't keep up with the flow rate of the spigot than its "A" if it can then its "G" because it's the lowest direct flow path without a drain. JMO.....
I still say L. Okay, this is how I look at it. Chambers D,E and G are out because C is blocked off from reaching them. Chamber A starts to flow into B and onto C and J. In J it fills up halfway until it starts to flow into L but stops at the same level in the tube leading to I.
From there it continues to flow into chamber L and into the tubes to H(blocked) and F as the tubes fill up it starts to flow into F. When the level in F reaches the lowest point in chamber L it stops because there isn't enough pressure to force more water into F. As chamber L starts to fill it will push more water into chamber F but not before L fills up first.
It looks like chamber L would just overflow and none of the other chambers would get close to getting filled.

The OP said F is not the answer. The only way that F would fill first is if the L chamber was bigger than the F chamber. With more water volume in the L chamber there is more pressure at the tubes to force more water into the the F chamber. The chambers are open at the top so there is air pressure pushing down on the water. In order for F to fill you need more water in chamber L to counter the air pressure and push the water into chamber F.

As someone earlier said, there are allot of variables that the original question doesn't give a definite answer to.
OP says it's not F...the online consensus says it is.
I'm sticking with whoever made this puzzle to begin with is saying its some ridiculous answer like... of course A is getting filled first, it doesn't fill up, but it is getting filled first.
