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?

The number of people in these comments who already understand the self-siphoning nature of water with zero explanation required makes me so proud to be here among them.
