Riddle Answer
The Match.
The solution isn’t always as complicated as it first appears. This riddle is worded so that you focus on the three things, but there’s actually a fourth thing you are probably forgetting! While you decide which object is better to light first, they’re overlooking that all three objects first require a lit match.
