I think you can make it even if [left number] > [right number]. Just math: You need for example 1 hour to pump the water and 50 minutes to get fully flooded. But after 50 minutes 5/6 of the water that was in the compartment at start of counting is pumped out (so only 1/6 remains) and some new water came in. This mass of new water fills — I think — the space that was not flooded before completely, but now you have 5/6 of the previously flooded space emptied, so you still have free space and some "field for maneuvers", as we say in Polish.

Complicated, but seems quite logical… What do you think?
