More time was allowed after the second test for teams toevaluate their predictions and to understand why their predictions were off.Figure 6 shows the results for the first tank with a non-negligible exit tube length. Thisconfused all of the teams. The teams applied Bernoulli’s equation to the entrance and notexit of the tube. Hence, the predicted drain times were longer than measured.
