I'll bite. The taller candle will go out first. Smoke rises so as the glass fills the taller candle will be snuffed out by it's own demise. I base this on my past expertise with pulling things out of my ass. Great idea by the way. I like puzzles.

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

I LOVE your evidence! Reminds me of the South Park where the doctor on TV is saying that the Institute of Health has decided that rather than eating through your mouth it's healthier to put food up your butt. The doctor explains: "We're basing this on... absolutely nothing."
