Four open containers of equal volume are connected as shown.

If the capacity of the pipes is greater than the flowrate from the tap, which container will fill first?

\[ \begin{array} { l l l }
& A & B \\ + & C & D \\ \hline & E & F \\ \end{array} \]

In the above cryptogram, all the letters represent distinct digits.

What is the minimum possible value of the 2-digit integer \( \overline{EF}? \)

Note: In cryptogram problems, 0 is not allowed to be a leading (first) digit, since we would just not write anything in its place.

If points \(A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I\) all lie on a circle, as shown above, find \[\angle A+\angle B+\angle C+\angle D+\angle E+\angle F+\angle G+\angle H+\angle I\] in degrees.

\[ 30 ^ \circ \] \[ 60 ^ \circ \] \[ 90 ^ \circ \] \[ 120 ^ \circ \] \[ 150 ^ \circ \] \[ 180 ^ \circ \]

\[ \begin{array} { ccccccc }
1234 & 1243 & 1324 & 1342 & 1423 & 1432 \\ \vdots & & & & & \vdots \\ 4123 & 4132 & 4213 & 4231 & 4312 & 4321 \\ \end{array} \]

The 24 distinct 4-digit numbers above have been listed out by arranging 1, 2, 3, and 4 in different orders. What is the sum of these 24 numbers?

\(\)
Hint: You do not need to list out all 24 numbers to find the sum.
