When technology rocks

Ever wondered how to solve complicated calculations?
When you're just a 16 year old teenager like me?
Well, I turned to the internet and I'm glad I did.
Recently, my dad asked my help to calculate
the water level of a horizontal cylinder for every 250 litres.
I logged on to google and started searching.
I stumbled upon an online calculator,
which calculates the water volume by giving the water level, diameter and length.
That was not what I wanted,
but I had to use it for there was no online calculator to find the water level.
I opened microsoft excel,
and started to input the height manually to obtain the desired water volume.
It was painstaking and took many hours, and days.
I managed to calculate the water level will 12250 litres,
however, I accidently close the program without saving.
Damn.
I ditched that method and went online searching for programs.
I was happy to find a few programs to help me calculate.
However, only one program was to my fitting.
With that, I was able to calculate the water levels for every 250 litres.
With technology, everyone can do everything!
