5 pipes are connected to an empty container, and begin (at same time) to pipe water in it. These 5 pipes have different piping speeds of consecutive integers x to x+4 gallons per minute.
After 70 minutes, all pipes are instantly turned off. The 3 faster pipes are connected to a 2nd empty container, same volume as the 1st container. Then all pipes are instantly turned on and after another 245 minutes, both containers are exactly filled.

What is the volume of each conteiner?
