Hey this is fun! and to think my comments were only said in jest!...

However, out of interest if you drill a hole with a standard 1" drill bit, the resultant space is usually circular, a round hole, a bore hole etc, etc would you not agree.

Therefore the area of the hole will be directly proportional to the radius (IE half the diameter) and using the formula 'pi x radius squared' provides the area of the circle equating to a diameter = 2 x radius... well I seem to recall it was when I went to school!

So if I have two buckets and I drill a hole in the bottom of one that is 1" in diameter and I drill a hole in the other that is 0.7853981633974483 square inches and then I hold each over your head in turn, which one would make you wetter the fastest???
