Henry Ernest Dudeney/Puzzles and Curious Problems/348 - Blowing Out the Candle

by : $348$

 * Blowing Out the Candle
 * Candles were lighted on Colonel Crackham's breakfast-table one foggy morning.
 * When the fog lifted, the Colonel rolled a sheet of paper into the form of a hollow cone, like a megaphone.
 * He then challenged his young friends to use it in blowing out the candles.
 * They failed, until he showed them the trick.
 * Of course, you blow through the small end.
