Although you could do some serious pokeage.

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.

Einstein never said that, he was german. Pffftththhhhh.
