The pressure of water in the pipes is called the 'head of pressure' and it is the difference in level between the water surface height (above sea level) in the nearest reservoir to the height (above sea level) of your tap. This 'head' will be higher for a downstairs tap than an upstairs tap and therefore the pressure and water flow rate upstairs will be less than for downstairs.

Why water comes out more slowly from an upstairs tap than from a similar tap downstairs?

This is due to the gravitational force affecting the water flow. Water has to travel against gravity to reach the tap upstairs, resulting in a slower flow compared to the tap downstairs where water flows with gravity. Additionally, the length and diameter of the pipes can also affect the flow rate.


How do you defeat copycat in the smoke on super power island?

There is plenty of time if you move quickly and efficiently. The first clone is right there above the bank vault door, so get her first. Before you get the last two downstairs, press the elevator button (it descends very slowly). The last one should be on the desk upstairs.


How do you see the ghosts in the old chateau?

The little ghost girl can be found when you enter into the fourth room upstairs from the west. You'll see her in the room beside the one you entered where she gradually floats out of the room. (She may appear randomly and not every time.) The butler can be found downstairs in the dining room where he slowly floats off-screen.

How do you move a full grown Oscar from the upstairs to downstairs safely?

This is not an easy job. Get a clean 5 gallon bucket. Not an old one, but a new one that has never been used. Clean it with WATER. No soaps, no detergents. Take enough water out of the tank to fill the bucket. Place the fish in the bucket. Drain the tank enough to make it light enough for two or three people to carry without dropping it. BE CAREFUL! Once the tank is downstairs, refill the tank. De-chlorinate the water. Add the proper amounts of aquarium salts and Stress Zyme. Try to get the tank refilled as close to the original temperature as possible. Place the Oscar back into the tank and leave it alone for several hours. It will shock a bit, but the fish should be back to normal in a day or two. Oscars are hearty and tough fish. Good luck!
