    I think she took the fulcrum as a given - for poetic effect.

    Pffft, this is obviously a trick question.

    You don't lift the bucket, because Einstein says: "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." So you should push down on the bucket.

    I voted "a little", because I didn't understand the poll options.

    Actually, it was Newton - but why be pedantic.

    I can't get both feet in the bucket, I've just tried, impossible
    The idiosyncratic syntax of riddles interests me
