How many candles are left?
Here’s a riddle: There are eight lit candles in a room. A gust of wind blows out four of them, so you close the window. After that, none of the flames go out. So, how many candles are left at the end? If you think about it simply, the answer would be eight, right? Even if the flames are out, the candles themselves are still there. But this is a riddle—actually a bit of a trick question. The key point is that when you closed the window, four candles were still lit. Think about how many remain in the end and why that is!
