	Guest  #55751  Wed, 17 Nov 04 04:03 AM The wording of the question is flawed. According to the question, there are infact 10 or 13 candles. That IS the answer. This isn't a riddle, but just a bad question.    Guest

	Chaos_Azn_Prince  #60876  Sun, 12 Dec 04 12:26 AM since no one has gotten this...illl answer it!!!! There are 3 candles left. why? because 3 of the 10 candles were blown out, which leave 7 left. those 7 candles continued to burn down until nothing is left. so that leaves 3 candles left. hard right? heheh    Chaos_Azn_Prince

	Hoogard  #61789  Thu, 16 Dec 04 11:28 AM The question is phrased so that it asks the state of the candles just after 3 has been blown out. It does not ask for the state of the candles after an infinite amount of time. I could easily follow through your answer by saying that after enough time has passed, there will be no candles left at all.    Hoogard Joined on Wed, Dec 15 2004 New Member (39)
