what i dont get your question do u mean

In a group of 200 people, everybody has a non burning candle. On person has a match at lights at some moment his candle. With this candle he walks to somebody else and lights a new candle. Then everybody with a burning candle will look for somebody without a burning candle, and if found they will light it. This will continue until all candles are lit. Suppose that from the moment a candle is lit it takes exactly 30 seconds to find a person with a non burning candle and light that candle. From the moment the first candle is lit, how long does it take before all candles are lit?

If that is so the answer is
It will take 4 minutes to light all candles.

If everybody has a non-burning candle then no one has a match. Or possibly he lit his candle and they saw lights every where and realized their hair was on fire cause what he had was a Dynamite and not a match. Your ??? wasn't well crafted so don't expect my answer to be any better.

Divide the people by the number of candles and subtract the answer from any number of your choice. Your answer should be xivxic. Am I correct?
