Lighting and blowing out 100 birthday candles

[BrandonDilbeck]

I would never have guessed it'd be such an ordeal to light and then extinguish a cake with 100 candles. I have to doubt that person who just turned 100 could blow out that cake. Your family is awesome, Rob.

Love how the kids are in the background watching in such wonder and so well behaved, waiting patiently. So cute!

That's a lot of candles!! That's perfect for someone who is 100 years old!!!

You're kids are awesome.   "It's like a light sensation" was my favorite part.

"From a kindle you will grow into a raging fire what a sight, What a lovely sight, What an end to life." I don't know why but i can't help but think of that lyric seeing this. Us humans live far too long but it's certainly a spectacle to watch

Great now you just called a ghost to your house rob you never heard of the 100 candles game that will invite "someone" to your home

Maybe I'm imagining things, but it seemed like the candles burned more quickly when they were blown on but not successfully blown out. Did the rush of oxygen to the base of the flame make them burn hotter? Was melted wax just being blown off of the top of the candles, making them smaller that way?

"Help us!" Lol. I can't wait till I turn 100 to demand, in between my bouts of senility and crankiness, a cake with 100 candles.

Butane micro torches work much better for lighting candles, you could probably light 5+ at a time and have the whole thing alight in seconds.
Thank you for documenting this research, for the good of the Internet :)

My girlfriend and I just did 33 for mine this evening. That in itself was an ordeal. Didn't get/use a barbecue lighter like those, but melted the tops of two disposable lighters (bic/equivalent) and finished off with a match. The smoke after blowing them out was intense lol

Did you see how the flames of the outer candles were starting to bend inward toward the other candles? That's the sign that they were starting to generate so much heat that they were creating a draft. That is a very dangerous situation because it will very quickly result in a fire that will grow out of control.
