8. You're in a cabin in the forest and it's pitch black. You have just one match on you. Which do you light first- the newspaper, the lamp, the candle or the fire?

again, I still say how its worded theres no wrong answer.
which do you light 1st ? the newspaper, the lamp, the candle or THE FIRE ? using the word " the " in this question is talking about an object & if theres a fire already going you DO NOT need to waste your match to light a fire - key words to use instead would be "light a fire" not light THE fire. theres a fire already going so you cant light fire to fire!

better way of writing it would of been " or a fire" but then lighting fire to newspaper,candle,match is lighting a fire. so really best to leave the whole "fire" part out ;)

so in my eyes the only correct answer is - no need to waste a match because theres a fire already going!

One morning the soldier who had been on sentry duty the night before asked to see his centurion. "Last night I dreamed that hordes of barbarians would sweep down from the north and attack our fort tonight," he reported. The centurion wasn't quite sure that he believed in prophetic dreams, but decided to double the patrols just in case. That night, the barbarians made their attack, but thanks to the extra patrols they were easily defeated. After the battle, the centurion thanked the soldier for his warning and then confined him to barracks until the Ides of March as a punishment. Why?

hot canuk - again its how its worded! THE fire - meaning light the fire on fire ! so tell me how you light fire to fire ? theres a fire already going so no need to waste the match! ;)

if you want to light " A fire " then yes you need to light something to START A FIRE. something like light the wood/kindle/paper to get a fire or simple english to you " to light a fire "

THE fire was hot - THE fire is close - THE fire is big --- using the word " THE " in front of " fire " means its an object or it already exsists! just like light THE newspaper or THE candle they're objects & the exsist at that moment!

& again lighting the match would be FIRE! so even if you want to use the stupid wording " light the fire " well you just made fire by lighting the match. the word fire should of never been used in this mind twister!

one is not a nickel but the other one is...so it would be a nickel and a 50 cent piece
 
You're right on the second one Bent (so length dosen't count either ;) ?) and AJ got the third one.

As for the first question that could be an answer but there is another answer and no adoption is involved.
