I havent peaked at the answer , just looking for appropriate challenges.the question is not how many candles are lit just how many candles there are so 5
I liked it! Easy but fun.
Sasho, like your other teaser I've seen this before...
Hoo boy- Moses fell out of his crib chuckling at this one - or a close variant. Are we searching the "Inactive" stacks at the local library for Puzzlers now? You should at least scrape the moss off the oldies before you submit them.
Seen this one before.. very easy.. try looking to see if there's one like it, or come up with something different. Most people would have seen this one, although its a good teaser for those who don't know it
Never heard it b4, but still got it right off the bat!
Yes, Yes this teaser was very easy. Are you all happy you had the experience... You know something, easy or not.
Good Teaser. I like the wind blew out, even though it had no direct bearing on the Answer itself... That was Clever...

ssssssssssoooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyy
For all we really know there were actually several hundred candles. It says they LIT five, not that there were five there.
Sorry guys, I didn't know that this was already a teaser. I don't intentionally copy, but sometimes my teasers resemble others that you might have read. Once again, sorry.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
