Puzzle 1 


I travelled from London to Glasgow last week at 60 miles per hour, I had filled my petrol tank just before I left, and it was full to the brim (25 gallons).

Unfortunately, my petrol tank sprang a leak immediately, and I only managed to drive 300 miles before I ran out of petrol.

My car does 30 miles per gallon, how fast was I losing petrol through the hole?
