Haha, I already know the result. I live in a house with four other girls, and the sink is usually filled with any number of dishes. Once it becomes completely piled up (as we don't eat together, and most of us cook real meals, this usually happens about every other day), one of us will become disgusted with the others and empty the dishwasher, fill it with dirty dishes, and clean most of the dishes left in the sink.

Do the remaining two pans and glass get cleaned by anyone else?

Of course not; they are the base dishes that we pile everything else on top of that day.

Why clean the remaining two dishes, there was originally an entire sink full of them! Comparatively, it's almost spotless!
