Still Life Hints
How do the various controls and objects work?
1 of 8: Clicking on the bucket, as it hangs on the nail, causes it to be placed under the lower spigot.
2 of 8: Clicking on the bucket again, while it is under the lower spigot, causes it to return to hang on the nail in the wall.
3 of 8: One of the controls (the red spigot on the top pipe) fills the tank to its capacity (5L).
4 of 8: The red tap underneath the tank causes water to flow out of the bottom of the tank.
5 of 8: If the bucket is not underneath the tank, when the lower spigot is turned, the tank will completely drain.
6 of 8: If the bucket is placed underneath the tank, then when the lower spigot is turned, only enough water will flow from the tank to raise the level in the bucket to 3L. (Ignore the fact that the water in the bucket never shows, as well as the fact that the bucket makes empty, hollow sounds even when it has water in it.)
7 of 8: Any water left in the tank, after the bucket has been filled, remains in the tank.
8 of 8: The bucket may be emptied at any time by clicking on the sink.
