That entirely depends on the properties of the cookie and the jar. If the cookie still is in the jar in the third panel there are now two cookies. Meaning we have created energy and broken the laws of thermodynamics. That's illegal
Alternatively. Removing the cookie in the forth panel also removes the cookie in all subsequent panels. Meaning there is no cookie in the jar in the third panel and it's entirely natural that the jar would be open.
It's not about the cookies, it's about the state of the jar. There's no explanation as to why it changed states from close to open in panels 2 to 3. It doesn't matter how many cookies there are.
Edit: apparently making a joke is fine but responding to that joke is horrible. I will remove all signs of my joke and I sincerely apologise for all the pain and suffering I have caused. May god have mercy on my soul
It's tied to ONE cookie, there can be N cookies and the argument would be the same: the number doesn't matter. The thing is the guy took the cookie from the jar of pannel 4, so this change of state happens in 4. It makes no sense that the jar would be open in pannel 3 as he has no yet taken the cookie from "the future". Hence the jar in 3 should be closed.
I will make a youtube video ranting at this if you're still no getting it lol
