Yeah, we decided to divide the number of candles by five, remembering how we nearly set the ceiling on fire last time we trapped him into attending. :-^)

That's why they make those number candles. I used a 6 candle and a 0 candle when I turned 60.

So for Woody, you'd just need a 1, 0 and 5.

And next year you re-use the one and zero and swap in a six.

I use binary, so someone 105 years old would need 7 candles, with lit candles representing 1s and unlit candles representing 0s.
