The Bronze Lion

Verified— unique solution
math
I am a bronze lion, and my spouts are my two eyes, my mouth, and the flat of my right foot. My right eye fills a jar in 48 hours, my left eye in 72 hours, and my foot in 96 hours. My mouth fills it in 6 hours. How long do all four together take to fill the jar?

Solution

Commit an attempt to unseal the proof. Write your answer — right or wrong, thinking it through is the point.

How many hours do all four spouts take together? Two decimal places, or a fraction.
