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.
