Bleeder screw question

If i loosened the bleeder screw on a 1987 Bronco II to where fluid could run out how many times would the brakes still work before going to the floor. No worries here on me doing this its an argument with someone else.

Since the screw is open and fluid runs out you have no pressure, hence the answer is zero.

Yeah, you're right. Didn't read the question carefully enough I guess.

When you bleed the brakes you'll learn that as soon as the bleeder is opened the brake pedal will go to the floor.
