Ha. Trick question! All of them are already full of air, and niether the flow rate nor the direction (or lack) of gravity was specified anyway. You lose. :)

Depends on the flow rate, but most likely 1 if the tap is running fast. Otherwise I have no idea.

Also, what's with these comments? What's so special/clever about this pic?
