How many buckets are needed on boats 24m or longer?

Two
Three
Four
Five

The correct answer is: Four

Boats that are 24m or longer usually need four buckets. This is because larger boats are more susceptible to taking on water and require more buckets to effectively remove the water and prevent sinking. Two buckets may not be enough to handle a large amount of water, while three buckets may be sufficient for smaller boats, but not for bigger ones. Similarly, five buckets may be excessive and take up too much space on a larger boat. Therefore, four buckets are the ideal number for boats 24m or longer.
