Question 14
The beavers have the water system shown below. Each bucket holds a fixed maximum amount of water, indicated by the number on it, except for M and N. Any remaining water reaching a bucket is divided equally between its outgoing branches and continues flowing down. At the end, the top bucket S is empty; M and N contain 80 and 40 litres respectively; and all the other buckets contain their full capacities of 40, 20 and 20 litres respectively.
The beavers build a different system, shown below, and pour 200 litres of water into bucket S.
Initially, all buckets are empty, and no water spills out of the system as it flows.
How many litres of water will bucket A contain once the water stops flowing?
