The tub can also be emptied when the plug is pulled out, in 9 minutes. Farley ran the hot water in his tub for 8 minutes, then both the cold and hot water together for 2 minutes, and then with the two taps still running, he accidentally pulled the plug. How long did it take, in minutes, for the tub to fill after the plug was pulled?<BR>\n" );
