The Greatest Riddle Of All Time
I got this question in an email recently. I cracked my head for a while but couldn't come up with an answer. So here's the question.
Imagine you are in Africa. You have been tied hanging on a tree with a rope anchored on the ground, a candle is slowly burning the rope, and the lion is waiting for you to drop and be his lunch. Your survival hinges on the rope staying intact, there is no one around to help you. The only possible way is to somehow convince the lion to BLOW the candle out.
How do you do that? Check out the 1st picture first and think before going to the 2nd picture.
It's a matter of life and death.

And the answer is:
That's how you do it.
So did you get the correct answer? If you did, CONGRATULATIONS! You are now officially LAME.
