A Candle and a match to fill the room with light.

Another option, IMO, would be a match and oil to fill the room with smoke, or something like that.

edit: oh damn, too late

Riddle #16:

One day, four heinous criminals are brought to the King's palace to be executed. But, in a sign of the enlightened times, the executioner was part of a union that only allowed three beheadings per day. His Majesty was in a particularly benevolent mood and decided to give one of the lucky criminals amnesty.

Their crimes were equally heinous, so the King cannot and does not want to decide which of them deserves the second chance at life. So, he proposes to them a riddle whereby the smartest man may earn his freedom. The King wrote:
I have here five hats: two dunce caps and three admiral's hats.
Each of you shall be given a hat, and you will stand in a line facing the back of the person ahead of you.
The last one sees everyone in front of him, the second to last sees only the second and first, and so on.
The first man to correctly call which hat he is wearing will be granted amnesty as well as a new set of clothing.

The criminals look confused, but they form a line and begin. After a short while, the second man is granted amnesty.

How did the second man correctly guess his freedom?


Today's riddle comes from Kandarim, maker of the custom Latikai Client for Salem (a must-have with some really great features).
If you can successfully guess his epic riddle, you shall win an equally epic reward! An entire outfit, as was given from King to criminal, in addition to the silver and points on the leaderboard.

^direction
Fourth
Third A
Second B
First C

If B wears a dunce hat as well, C can immediately tell that he is wearing a admirals hat after looking at the two dunce hats in front of him.
If B does not wear a dunce hat, C will be unable to tell the type of his hat (because there is a dunce and a admirals). Hence, B can deduce from A's dunce hat and C's response that he (B) is not wearing a dunce hat (otherwise the above situation will happen) and is therefore wearing a admirals hat.
This therefore proves that B must be wearing a admirals hat.
