๐Ÿ˜ƒ: Seven lit candles are arranged in a circle on a cake. When you blow out one candle, the two adjacent candles will also be extinguished. If you blow on an extinguished candle, it will relight. Furthermore, if there is an extinguished candle adjacent to the one you blow on, it will also relight. How can you extinguish all the candles with the least number of blows?
๐Ÿค–: To extinguish all the candles with the least number of blows, you should blow on the candle that is adjacent to the extinguished candle that is furthest away from you. This will create a chain reaction, relighting the extinguished candle that is closest to you, and then relighting the extinguished candle that is furthest away from you. This method will require a minimum of 4 blows.
