A bronze lion was carved, and on it the following inscription was written: "I can pour water from my eyes, throat, and right leg. If I open my right eye, I fill my basin in 2 days, if I open my left eye, in 3 days. The water flowing from my leg fills the basin in 4 days, and the water flowing from my throat fills it in 6 hours. Tell me how long it would take to fill the basin if water flowed from my eyes, throat, and leg all at once?"
Let the volume of the basin be $V, \, \text{s}$ and it fills up in $x$ hours.

The right eye fills $\frac{V}{48} x$, the left eye $\frac{V}{72} x$, the foot $\frac{V}{96} x$, and the throat $\frac{V}{6} x$ volumes, so together they fill the volume $V$

\[
\begin{gathered}
\frac{V}{48} x+\frac{V}{72} x+\frac{V}{96} x+\frac{V}{6} x=V \\
6 V x+4 V x+3 V x+48 V x=288 V \\
61 x=288 \\
x=4 \frac{44}{61} \text{ hours to fill. }
\end{gathered}
\]
