GreeboTCat Started conversation Aug 31, 2000
Greebo goes into the dark cellar, with a piece of paper, a match and a mirror. In the cellar she knows there is a candle, an oil lamp and a parafin soaked rag torch. She needs to light all three to be able to completely light up the cellar.
What should she light first???

Use the match to light the piece of paper, use the mirror to reflect the light around to find the candle, use the candle to light the lamp and the torch.
Or something....

But Greebo NEEDS that match to complete her matchstick model of the Titanic, which is what she came down in the basement to work on in the first place!

EV's answered it...but OUCH! All that paper, paraffin and oil sound a bit dangerous there, Greebo! Keep the mirror for admiring your pretty face.

Smell out the soaked rag before lighting the match. Then light that.

I agree the match.
I see I will have to get up very early to make question time. Also, it's 1 September here, so I will have to get up early to make "yesterday's" question time.
(And you think YOUR head hurts, Greebo )
