This is fun little exercise to improve one's accuracy and control with a Ferrocerium Rod. If you knock the candle over you lose. If you light it with the least number of strikes among friends you win. I've done it at 3 strikes before, but this is all the candle I have so 7 strikes for me.

One variation is 10 pushups for every failed attempt. This is a fun game with scouts.

Apologies for my craptastic camera.
