This brain teaser was shared a while ago on social media. Since being posted, it has gained numerous likes and comments. Many people had various answers. An individual said, “Candle”. While another said “Match”.

A third added, “I don’t mean to be fussy and overly technical, but I think this riddle might work a bit better if it were slightly rephrased.

What do you light first?” As it stands, the riddle gives you four options of what you need to light first, but the answer to the riddle isn’t one of them.” (Also Read: Viral Brain Teaser: Man sells cow and makes a profit.
