Moon Wine is continuously pumped from a reservoir to the Muse Treehouse, at the steady rate of 1,000 gallons per hour. Since the consumption varies throughout the day, the excess (when delivery exceeds demand), is stored in a wine tower for use when demand exceeds delivery. Daily demand is 24,000 gallons a day. The number of gallons used during eight consecutive three-hour periods is as follows: 2,000 gallons 5,000 gallons 4,000 gallons 2,500 gallons 4,000 gallons 500 gallons 4,000 gallons 1,500 gallons The cycle repeats without change every day. Assuming Moon Wine is consumed at a steady rate within each period, what is the smallest capacity for the wine tower that will allow the demand to always be met? <b>Prize Your choice of free Diamond Engrave -or- 500,000 Coins AND Legend mark "Winner of _ Merchant events" Please include your choice of prize when mailing your answer!
