Still Life Hints

What is the complete solution?

  • 1 of 9: Place the empty bucket under the tank, and open the top spigot, filling the tank with 5L of water.
  • 2 of 9: Open the tap at the bottom of the tank, to drain 3L of water into the bucket (leaving 2L in the tank).
  • 3 of 9: Dump the contents of the bucket into the sink, emptying the bucket.
  • 4 of 9: Open the tap at the bottom of the tank, to drain the remaining 2L of water into the bucket.
  • 5 of 9: New open the top spigot, filling the tank once again with 5L of water.
  • 6 of 9: Open the tap at the bottom of the tank.  Since the bucket already contains 2L of water, only 1L of water will move from the tank into the bucket.
  • 7 of 9: This leaves 4L of water in the top tank -- exactly what we need.
  • 8 of 9: Push the small red button on the left side of the tank, near the top.
  • 9 of 9: The light bulb lights, power is restored, and the reservoir drains.
