BRAIN TEASER
A fire engine was rushing to a small fire, 15 miles away. The fire engine set out with 120 gallons of water, however, the water tank had a leak and the fire engine was losing water at the rate of 2 gallons per minute. The fire engine travelled at a constant 30 miles per hour. The fire required 50 gallons of water - did the fire engine have enough water when it arrived?

SOLUTION
Yes: the journey took 30 minutes. In that time the fire engine lost 60 gallons of water - leaving 60 gallons with which to fight the fire.
