Did you get it right?
The cake has six unlit candles and the family is ready, but there is no way to light them.
The Answer
The correct answer is: matches or a matchbook.
Here is why
- Six candles are placed on the birthday cake, and every wick is visibly unlit.
- The table has plates, forks, napkins, gifts, and lemonade.
- No match, matchbook, matchbox, lighter, flame, spark, or other ignition source appears anywhere.
Why people miss it
The table looks fully prepared because every larger party item is present, making the tiny missing ignition source easy to overlook.
