A fish tank is 6060 cm long, 3030 cm wide and 4040 cm tall. A thin wall 2020 cm tall stands across the tank 2020 cm from the left end, so it splits the floor into a left part 2020 cm long and a right part 4040 cm long. Water is poured into the left part at 33 liters per minute. How many minutes after pouring starts is the water in the right part 1010 cm deep? (11 liter =1000= 1000 cubic cm.)
