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?
Someone would say you're at a...loss
Definitely cause your hint isn't helping.

The boxes are placed such that they mimic the positions of the characters in the comic.
That comic got memed a lot, including a lot of people who "reduced" the characters to just their orientation and position in the comic.

Yeah, a lot of people acting like this is some well known thing… I’ve been using the internet since the early 90s and I’ve never heard of this comic, let alone this specific strip so it must be some 4chan shit or other oldschool board.
It's well known in the fact that once you've run across it and someone explains it, you'll usually see it later on without trouble after a few times. Although some forms of it are quite subtle, like this one. The title is the hint, otherwise I doubt many would have caught on. That being said, if you never happened across it, you'd wonder what the hell everyone is talking about. About like any other meme really.
