0 Guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Not really think again You have ten candles in your dining room. So does it depend on how many you have in the rest of your house? Please don't tell me the answer is 7... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuming the rest never get blown out how many do you have in the end IF the candles were lit, you'd eventually have zero - they'd burn up leaving nothing but puddles.

Asuming the rest never get blown out how many do you have in the end 1st, This op has poor punctuation and spelling, so a play-on-words answer to this riddle is pretty much out of the question. 2nd, If "the rest never get blown out" then there is no "in the end." Because they would melt down then burn out. Leaving 3 that didn't melt down to nothing. 3rd, You never said how many were lit in the beginning, so the possible answers range from three to ten, depending on what you were looking for. Though it seems the answer you are looking for is Zero. Edited July 7, 2008 by Brandonb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I for one understood the intention of the wording of the riddle right off the bat. You're doing good, stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
