Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

If 2 candles blew out we are still left with 7 candles out of which 5 are lit and 2 candles that are extinguished.

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

Depending on when it is counted, we are left with either 7 or 2 candles
