The correct number of spits are (starting from left): 3 spits, 1 spit, 2 spits, 0 spits, 4 (or 5) spits.

Trivia[]

The puzzle is rooted in the real-life phenomenon known as Helmholtz resonance, where blowing air over a bottle or tube causes the enclosed air to vibrate, resulting in sound. The pitch of the sound is influenced by factors such as the container's size, shape, and the amount of water present, with a higher water level typically leading to a higher-pitched sound.
