"I Leave Ye with a Riddle..."

Basically someone posts a riddle, if you know the answer, you post the answer along with another riddle. You'll recieve 1 point for each one you get right, the names will be place on the score board, in the order of the most points.

Rules
1. Only one answer per member per question.
2. Once a question gets five wrong answers a new one will be set.
3. If a riddle isn't solved after a day, a new one will be set.
4. Don't use the Internet to find the answer. However, if you're to set the question, you may.
5. I'll decide who gets the point (by this, I mean, if you argue with me, I'll reset your score)
6. You can ask questions, within reason.
7. Rules 1 and 2 are lifted if the riddle contains a good few paragraphs.
8. If a riddle needs to be set, anyone can set them.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't want to waste an answer :)

Spontaneous combustion.

Seeing as they've nothing to magnify the rays of the sun with, I would guess that they'd use the heat from the surface of the dingy, as rubber can get rather hot under a midday sun? Or, as that's quite unlikely, someone suddenly remembers what they have about their person gets some matches, or a lighter, etc, out of their pocket and lights up...

:O You can be so mean :(

" He tells the guys he was waiting until they died before he smoked them, but now he realises they haven't got a hope in hell of surviving, he thought he may as well share them with the guys. "

Is this a mistake, or am I being stupid enough to miss that it makes complete sense...?

Nope, nothing at all.

Hahaha, no more answers from Biggie...

Did the others have any items on them?

Nope, nothing to do with the sun.

The sun is my initial guess, although i'll scan it more carefully :) Either that, or it's all just a dream :)

Believe me, you're going to hate me for this.

Three men are in a dingy. They're lost at sea, and they know they're going to die. The sun is beating down on them, they've not drunk anything in days, and they're beginning to all dream about the things they wish they'd done with their life.

One man eventually comes forward, knowing the worst, and produces a pack of cigarettes, with four fags left. He tells the guys he was waiting until they died before he smoked them, but now he realises they haven't got a hope in hell of surviving, he thought he may as well share them with the guys.

But he tells them it's pointless anyway. He hasn't got anything to light the cigarettes with.

The two men thank the guy for sharing them, and put the cigarettes in their mouths and smile, leaving the one cigarette left in the packet. The man says well, whoever's left alive, he can smoke the last cigarette. If he ever finds a way to light it.

Then one of the men has an idea. "Wait!" He says. "I know how we can all have a cigarette right now."

"Impossible." The men tell him. "We're in the middle of the ocean, we've not got anything in the dingy, how can we light the cigarettes?"

So.. how does he light them?
