10a: what takes just seconds for jack and jill to fill atop hill, finally? i have ?a?l. i think it is "pail" but the management thinks it is "fall". neither of us can justify an answer. if someone could give an explanation it might save a domestic. thanks in advance. sorry about the "shouting" but the capslock key is stuck

Many thanks, guys. Domestic crisis over even if I wasn't clever enough to work it out!
