No matter how fast light travels, darkness got there first and was waiting for it.
Here is the solution they gave in the textbook, but certainly not the only one. The instructions don't put restrictions or conditions other than to attach the candle to the wall. It doesn't say you have to use all the materials. In the solution above, it appears the candle has been lit and drops of wax hold the candle upright, though that isn't clear. There may be a tack on the bottom which isn't shown (that's how I would have done it. You don't need the matches at all in that case. Actually you don't need the box either if you just tack the candle to the wall through the wick.
If you were a subject in the test, how would YOU do it?
Background:
I was trying to find out who a guy by the name of Andrew Neil was today. Apparently he is some roach of a prima donna gossip reporter that Rupert Murdock fired for being too stupid to live. I googled him and, oddly, he came up under "cunt." You know how reserved the British are. I think he is of Scotish-cunt extraction, they said. Nicknamed Brillo Head, don't know why. Has a good red dye job on his hair. Well, not that good, I guess, if you can tell.I wouldn't have let that cunt, Neil, browbeat me into apologising for telling the truth!
'Counter Cunted', interesting concept.
I'd pay good money to see someone "trim the lamps" one of these bullying, hectoring interviewers ..
People like Neil, Paxman etc ... They seem to believe that because they've become "celebs" they're bombproof ..
A quick smack in the old "snot-box" might just serve to remind them how fortunate they are to lead such cushy, over-paid lives ..
Well, I don't know. The feelings about him seem to be mixed, no? Do any of YOU know who he is? Help me out here.
In other news, the French government has been quietly dismantling the Eiffel Tower to make room for the staging for a Lady Ga Ga concert.
... how hard it was going to be to teach a pet honeybee how to walk upright, I would never have begun the task in the first place. Now that I am finally ready to reap my financial reward, I find out her life-span is 4 months, and it took 3 to train her.
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I am finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Oh can't you see the morning after?
The BlackEyed Peas are an American hip hop group that formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1995. The group is composed of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist will.i.am and vocalists apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie. Since their third album, Elephunk in 2003, the group has sold an estimated 35 million albums worldwide and 41 million singles and 76 million copies with both sales combined [That would be 35 and 41. RM.] [Note: not sold door-to-door. RM.] They scored their first worldwide hit with "Where is the Love?" in 2003, which topped over ten charts [Over 10? 11? 117? RM.] worldwide. Another single was the European hit "Shut Up". Their next album Monkey Business was another worldwide hit, certified 3x Platinum in the U.S., spawning [having a life of it's own, apparently. RM.] two hit singles "My Humps" and Don't Phunk With My Heart".
I seen her with the gypsies
I miss the visits of a wonderful lady who used to come around BritishSpeak quite a lot, before her move and before her life got quite so busy as it is now. I still hang around Wise Herb blog though, and I really like her sense of humor. A lot of the time I just read and don't comment. I do that on a lot of blogs, so beware. Today I noticed something in her sidebar, that brought me up short:
So.... according to Angelika, the assassination attempt on Hitler led by his officers DID result in him being shot but by himself and not by Tom Cruise. "After receiving an extra large dose* of WTFium, Hitler shot himself in..."
I was putting together some music by Herman's Hermits not too long ago, and of course included Leaning on the Lampost, though it was considerably more popular in the U.S. than in Britain apparently. A good friend mentioned that George Formby had made that song popular earlier, or had at least sung it a lot, playing the ukulele, and I said, "Who's George Formby?"
Your Prince Harry is in New York, in case you were wondering and have missed him. So is his pop.
I want to apologize to my throngs of South African readers for writing the word fag in one of my other posts today. I want to say it was just a slip of the tongue but somehow that seems even worse. Just put down the vuvuzelas and go home. The party is over anyway.
[March 25, 2010] Det. Lt. Michael Gagner of the Fairfield Police Department in Connecticut told reporters that they [police] had ample warning when it came to the robbery attempt at People’s United Bank branch in Fairfield. This is because the robbers decided to go the ‘easy’ route and call ahead to place a to-go order for the cash.
The alleged attempted bank robbers apparently called the bank and demanded that the teller get a bag of cash, containing one hundred thousand dollars, and have it ready for them when they showed up to get it. The alleged attempted robber went on to say that if the money was not ready, there would be a “blood bath.”
According to the Sgt, James Perez, the two men, residents of Bridgeport, 27-year-old Albert Bailey and an unidentified 16-year-old boy, showed up within ten minutes of making the phone call, and were arrested by the police on charges of attempted robbery and threats. He said that the two males were “not too bright.”
Punxsutawney PA March 27 (AP) - Police say they charged a Pennsylvania man with public drunkenness after he was seen trying to resuscitate a long-dead opossum along a highway.

In the early days of British rule in America, travel was by horse on really bad trails. I hesitate to call them actual roads. Along the way were "inns" where one could stop for the night and put up his horses. These came to be called public houses. You could get something to eat and a bed for the night. Sometimes you had to share your bed with a stranger, I've read. It wasn't very long before the landlord also discovered he should be serving alcoholic beverages as well. Maybe 8 or 9 minutes it took him to figure this out.
