Question

I have 7 candles lit, 2 blew out, how many candles do I have left

Answer 1

Hey there,

Total Number of candles lit = 7

Total blew out = 2

But the question is it demanding on the number of candles that are blew it still lit.
What questions demands is the total number of candles. And that is equal to = 7

So, total number of candles = 7

But if we have second logic then , we can say that out of 7 candles 5 were still lit so they will melt. And 2 will be left.

So, answer can be either 2 or 7.

Thanks!

Answer 2

Hi there!

The answer of this riddle is 7.

Explanation :-

There are 7 candles lit and if I blew out 2 of them , I still have 7 Candles 5 lit and 2 unlit.

But still there is catch, if those 5 candles are lit longer, they will melt and we will be left with 2 candles.

So, Depending on the time when we count the candles answer would be either 7 or 2.

Since, in the riddle it is not explicitly stated the time, answer is 7.
