    This only works if posed verbally. In written form, you are wrong, as "sixty cups" and "six tea cups" mean entirely different things.

    the first one is right.....even though in childrens puzzle books it says the answer is none....

    the second one...well i should have been clearer. the answers 3, because the seven candles are burned away...

    No there are still 6 teacups because if one "as in myself" falls down then I am on the ground but 6 tea cups are still standing.

    Nein, daß heißt es nicht. Sei nicht blöd. "Nein" und "kein" sind nicht dasselbe.

    It should be: "Nein, das heißt es nicht."
