No mean feat considering that this one would hold two and a half gallons and had only been brought into service after some cruise time had elapsed. Quick mental calculations based on long passed lessons in kidney function, and more recent experience of factors promoting diuresis, confirmed that this goal was just attainable. With deep humility we are pleased to report that through the ensuing days and nights of science and discovery, we applied ourselves unflinchingly to this goal, with full success, comforted throughout by the fact that we no longer had to run the gauntlet of foul weather and dangerous seas. Our success was not without obstacles, however, since we did encounter a couple of serious problems during cube usage. This would seem to be obvious, but such 'platforms' are rarely available in a ship's lab'.
Space is always at a premium.
As our cube was not located at a comfortable height we frequently encountered problems with coordination. To lose grip with either hand is just asking for trouble, so add a few feet of duct tape to the cube's base, and consider a funnel to increase the catchment area. Furthermore, as your cube approaches capacity, another problem you may encounter on a rolling ship during a heavy sea is that of spillage. Privacy - For maximum user comfort, your cube should be located in an area guaranteed to provide the utmost privacy. Such tales of derring-do would of course have been impossible had Polar Duke had a 'head' within commuting distance of the helideck.
