Is it possible to determine the original direction of water flow? [on hold]
$begingroup$
Take two beakers of water and use a spoon to stir water clockwise in one beaker and counterclockwise in the other beaker. Observe the beakers after a sufficiently long time when the water flow has slowed down.
Is it possible to determine the original direction of water flow after 1 hour? 1 day? 1 week?

Is this a legitimate physics question, or more of a lateral-thinking question?

Yes, it is legitimate physics question, and is a task for a international competition.

It's not much of a puzzle. It looks to me more like a physics problem. Maybe it should be asked in physics.stackexchange.com

@KameliaSavova if it's an ongoing competition, this topic should be close as site's policy doesn't allow this :/

I found this question at swissynt.ch/images/Problems_for_the_3rd_SYNT_2019.pdf. It's asked in SYNT 2019, which will be held on March 2nd (swissynt.ch/index.php/synt/synt-2019). VTC'd.
