PART II.

F. 66v. prob. 91. Cask with four taps. Volume above highest tap is 1/3 of the cask. Volume between highest and second highest is 1/4; volume between second and third highest is 1/5; volume between third highest and lowest tap is the rest of the cask. Each tap can empty the section just above it in 1, 2, 3, 4 days. How long to empty with all taps? He assumes the cask holds 60 so the rates are 20, 15/2, 12/3, 13/4 per day. Answer is 80/139 + 60/59 + 48/29 + 4, but he gives the sum as 7 245235/2959139. Clearly the denominator denotes 29·59·139 = 237829, but the correct sum is 7 58901/237829 and I cannot see how his expression relates to the answer. The answer is not 7 + 24/29 + 52/59 + 35/139, nor any similar expression that I can think of.

Ff. 66v-67r, prob. 92. Basin has inlets which fill it in 1, 2, 3 hours and outlet which empty it in 2, 3, 4 hours, i.e. (1, 2, 3, -2, -3, -4). How long to fill? He follows with remarks that all such problems can be done similarly. Cf della Francesca.
