Now then. The bathtub holds 100 gallons.
1:06:36
"A" fills it at the rate of 20 gallons a minute,
1:06:42
and "B" at the rate of ten gallons a minute.
1:06:46
- Got that, Mr Morgan?
- Twenty and ten gallons. Yes, sir.

1:06:50
Now then. "C" is a hole that empties it
at the rate of five gallons a minute.

1:06:56
How long to fill the tub?
1:07:04
There is silly. Trying to fill
a bathtub full of holes, indeed.

1:07:09
A sum it is, girl. A sum.
A problem for the mind.

1:07:13
- For his examination into school.
- That old national school.

1:07:16
'Tis silly they are with their sums. Who
would pour water in a bathtub full of holes?

1:07:21
- Who would think of it? Only a madman.
- It is to see if the boy can calculate.

1:07:25
Figures, nothing else.
How many gallons, and how long.

1:07:29
In a bathtub full of holes.
1:07:34
Now I know why I have such a tribe of sons.
1:07:37
It is you, Beth Morgan, is the cause.
1:07:40
Look you, Mr Gruffydd.
Have you something else?

1:07:43
The decimal point.
1:07:47
The decimal...
1:07:50
The decimal point, then,
and peace to my house.

1:07:53
- Go and scratch.
- Well, it's getting late.

1:07:56
I've got to get along. We'll follow
the decimal point tomorrow night.
