Question

A powerful sorcerer has hired Rickey Rat as an intern.
The wizard gives Rick the task of carrying water from a well to the garden.
The path from the well to the garden is up a staircase with 1000 stops.
The wizard gives Rickey a one-litre bucket and tells him that the bucket was an old one he experimented with, so it has a peculiar flaw
it leaks one mililitre of water for every step climbed up, but does not lose any water if you climb down any steps.
Rickey has a trick up his sleeve - he has secretly learnt to use a copying spell and can create as many copies of the bucket as he wants,
but the copled buckets also havo the same flaw. Also, he is only strong enough to carry one bucket at a time.
If the well has three litres of water in it, what is the maximum amount of water that
Rickey Rat can carry up the stairs to successfully water the wizard's plants?
