A former co-Leader told me once with a twinkle, "You know you have
enough water in the bathtub when you have added 47 cups."  Or
something like that.  Her point:  how do we know when we have
enough water in the tub?  When we have *enough*, of course!
Measurement in cups has nothing whatever to do with it, and it
wouldn't even occur to us to use a cup to do it.  We add water until
we're satisfied.  And how much that is will vary from person to person
and from bath to bath.
