Below is a map of the BrainBashers detention facility.

There are 9 guards, A-I, who are in charge of a particular number of cells.

The guards only guard cells that they can see in a continuous straight line, either horizontally or vertically, and each cell is only protected by one guard.

The numbers represent how many cells each guard is in charge of, they are of course in charge of the cell they are currently in.

Can you work out which guards are in charge of which cells?

		A-7				B-7
					C-5
				D-1
	E-5		F-3
						G-6
					H-3
I-12

I travelled from London to Glasgow last week at 60 miles per hour, I had filled my petrol tank just before I left, so it was full with 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?
