Riddle

You have three stoves: a gas stove, a wood stove, and a coal stove, but only one match. Which should you light first?

Choose an answer

A.The gas stove
B.The wood stove
C.The coal stove
D.The match!
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 8 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The match!

Why this is the answer

Before any stove can be lit, the match itself must be lit first — the riddle is a logic trap about order of operations.
