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.

TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here's a look at what we are working on for tonight's broadcast of The CBS Evening News from Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric:
Hi everyone.
There’s news today that the H1N1 outbreak may be more serious than first thought. The Centers for Disease Control now says H1N1 has sickened 22,000 Americans since April, and nearly 4,000 have died. That’s about four times higher than previous death estimates. CBS News Medical Correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook will have the latest tonight. While people in this country are lining up -- often in vain -- to try to get the vaccine, things are going much more smoothly across the Atlantic Ocean. CBS News Correspondent Sheila MacVicar reports tonight on the British approach to H1N1 vaccinations. For more on this story, Click Here
Do you use the internet at work? If so, your boss may be keeping tabs on what sites you visit, and how much time you spend online. CBS News Science and Technology Correspondent Daniel Sieberg reports tonight about the changing views of internet use in the workplace.
And, we end tonight with the story behind the book and upcoming movie, "The Blind Side." CBS News Correspondent Michelle Miller meets the NFL star, whose unlikely transition from the streets of Memphis to pro football has moved on to the big screen.
See you tonight. Katie
