Well, frankly I can't STAND leaving water in the bathtub.....especially the one upstairs. So, I would HAVE to use all three of them in order to get as much as I possibly could out...... |

| VERY GOOD NAKAMOVA!!!! WOOT! yes, the correct answer would be a normal person would pull the plug. I would also take, using the teaspoon to pop the plug out!

| OK - I made it too complicated. Use the bucket first, then the cup when the water got low, then the teaspoon to get the last of it. Maybe I should just put the bucket over my head,  Use the cup for my coffee,  And use the spoon to dig myself out of this hole.  Pull the plug??? Duh me!

| When I asked my friends this question, one of them asked how big the tub was, how much it held, how much the bucket held, the cup and teaspoon. The actually calculated how many buckets you could fill versus the height of the bucket, and the angle it will fill at once the water line is lower etc etc and figure it out as a mathematical question. So you didn't complicate things too much buckeye. My other friend asked how strong the bucket was and what it was made of, so he could smash the side of the tub open and tilt it!!! There comes a point where thinking outside the box is just silly.

Now, see if pulling the plug were an option, I would have just done that.......Rae, your friends are a little, um, different?? I would not have thought to turn it into a MATH problem, for Pete's sake........LOL  |

| I totally didn't think of pulling the plug  Now I feel silly!I was thinking about the time I had to drain the water from the broken dishwasher, and what I used then -- progressively smaller and smaller bailing utensils.

| Renting a portable water suction device. Just like me to never simplify! I'm sure this is the wrong answer. But inventive?
