Sure, open up the tank and flush, it's pretty easy to see how it works, you just need to fix it so it keeps draining into the bowl longer.

Anyone good at mathematics? If P is inversely proportion to R, P = 5 and R = 12. What would P be if R = 4? I'm not asking for an answer, just at least get me started and tell me what to write please.
Does anyone know what may cause a car ignition to not function? As in, you put the key in, but it doesn't turn, and it isn't because the wheel is locked (because it isn't locked)?

Because it's broken?
In what way is it most likely to be broken? Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe your key is too beat up. The same thing happened to the key to my front door. I could put it in the lock just fine, but it wouldn't turn.

Coming from a person who doesn't know anything about the mechanics of a car, it seems to be blocked, or maybe you have an electrical fault? (I.E, the car thinking it has been locked but it hasn't?) Does it work sometimes, or not at all?

if x and y are proportional, then y = k*x, where k is a constant.
if x and y are inversely proportional, then y = k/x, where k is a constant.
more help in this spoiler, if you need it:
Spoiler :
I just got the key recently, and didn't do anything to it between the last time I successfully drove the car, and it not working. I have bent it a bit, but not at the part where it goes into the ignition.
It started not working last night. The electricity seems to be otherwise fine (the lights turn on, and the radio used to until I couldn't even turn my key that far.)

I got that answer, but didn't do anything what Mise below said... The working doesn't work anyway so it'll just be wrong.
Thanks. That's... understandable...

I have this person who I said bad things about behind his back and I said I was sorry but he just got really angry. What do I do???

You shouldn't have said things behind his back. Just apologize and leave him alone. He'll cool down eventually.

He got angry when you apologized? How genuine were you being?

He was probably thinking something like why bothre apologizing when the damage is already done. Some people are weird like that. (But I understand where he was coming from. I'd certainly get pissed if say, the 'Foot was sending PM's about me to Huayna...

Put a housebrick in the cistern.
Old school cisterns overkill with the amount of water they use. The amount of water saved with fractionally smaller flushes is greater than the increased instance of "double flushers".
Yes. The fill valve, the part that has the water pipe attached to it, has a float of one form or another that shuts off the water when the tank is full. Change the height of that float and you change how much water comes into the tank before it shuts off.
As in when you put the key in, you are unable to turn it? Because that is fairly common in that what happens is that the steering wheel lock can bind up the ignition lock. The way to deal with that is to try pulling the steering wheel in each direction and see if the ignition unbinds.

Generally the shut off is at about the horizontal so it is impossible to tinker. I guess a bigger float would be possible, but a brick is an awful lot easier.
