What will happen to my candle?

[Teaching3bears]

I had a little red candle in a little glass cup.  When it was about 2/3 burned I had trouble getting a match down into the cup.  I put another candle of the same size on top.  It is a  different shade of red.  What will happen when it burns up?  Will the flame just go to the first wick?  I have a pink candle I might put on top of it to make the colors interesting.

I'm not sure, but I do know you can light a piece of dry spaghetti and use it to reach in further to light a short candle in a tall holder.

Usually, the wick has a metal weight on the bottom to keep it level when the candle is poured. I doubt it will light the lower candle. It will probably also drown the lower candle in wax.

When the candle is low in the jar, I light a toothpick or kabob skewer and tip the jar on its side, then light with the stick.
