[b]6.1[/b] The capacities of cubic vessels are in the ratio 1:8:27 and the volumes of liquid poured into them are 1: 2: 3. After this, from the first to a certain amount of liquid was poured into the second vessel, and then from the second in the third so that in all three vessels the liquid level became the same. After this, 128 4/7 liters were poured from the first vessel into the second, and from the second in the first back so much that the height of the liquid column in the first vessel became twice as large as in the second. It turned out that in the first vessel there were 100 fewer liters than at first. How much liquid was initially in each vessel?

From A and B , cyclists simultaneously ride towards each other at speeds of 20 km/h and 30 km/hour accordingly. Together with the first A, a fly flies out with speed 50 km/h, she flies until she meets the cyclist from B, after which she turns around and flies back until she meets the cyclist from A, after which turns around, etc. How many kilometers will the fly fly in the direction from A to B until the cyclists meet?
