Rainwater (is free)

Get your bucket, fill with water, fill the barrels, save $!

You're broke and you could only rent a small, one-room shack for you to stay. Turns out this place drips more water than a sponge during rain!

But hey, RAINWATER IS FREE WATER! And you just happen to have a bucket and some barrels lying around, so why not? Free water means less $ out of your poor empty wallet! :D

Basically:

Fetch water from drips and streams with your bucket;
Bucket is full (or almost)? Go to a barrel and empty your bucket so you can fetch more!;
Empty your bucket anywhere else and feel the pain of losing FREE WATER!;
A bucket holds a maximum of 30 units of water. A barrel holds 60 units of water.

How many barrels can you fill before the timer stops?
