he got about 7 to 10 mins to do something, assuming the fire is comming from behind him and moving as fast as the wind.

if the wind/fire is going to the oppisite direction then he should be ok. maybe he started it by throwing his other cigarette/match away, hehe.
6.7 minuites before he heard the news. he was where the fire started. (i think) ack....im tired. good night.

And then he can stop smoking. Its bad for you.
Actually, considering the tailwind of 200km/h!!, he might even be able to outrun the blaze.

actually the fire won't spread as fast as the wind, and he can use the wind to make him move faster ( like if his bike was an old ship in the ocean )

also ... what is the direction of wind ?

Where is he riding his motorcycle? Is it in the middle of a rainforest or something? CAn't he just call rescue services or whatever on his mobile to send a helicopter to pull him out? Or does it have something to do with the cigarette? This 200 km/h wind, is it like a shockwave or something so he can simply ride into the wind and get away with only minor burns? I really don't know.

I Think This Riddle Turned into a mess .
So Lets Organize The Information :

1- The Speed Of The MotorCycle Is Not Enough To Escape
2- Consider That he is living in a Two Dimention Life
3- he Has 3-5 mins until he Gets Burned
4- He Is a Smoker
5- He Will Survive

Now This Will Help You !

u forgot that he is 33 years old ...
it is easy i think
he has to go back in the middle of the way between him and the fire, and has to burn something to make another fire, now when the two fires will connect, they won't find enough Oxygen or Anything to burn, so the fire will stop

another option, let him use the wind to go faster (like me and FZ said .. )

That's The Correct Asnwer , To Fight The Fire With Fire !
He Burn The Grass In From of him and Then The Wind Will Burn The Grass In front of him , And then he Rides behind The Fire he made , And When The Original fire reach the Place Where he Fired , That Fire Will Stop Right There , And The Ohter Fire will Continuou .

Anyway , I liked The Idea Of Increasing The Speed By The Wind ... It's Really Good , And Causes less damage .

But This Is The Answer I have , But I Think FZ's Idea Is 100% Correct , Anyway , Staifour Got My Idea .

And I'll Post Another Ridddle .

New riddle ,
You have a plate and in this plate there's water and a coin sank in it . How can you take out this coin without toching the water or moving the coin , But using some of the following :

An Empty glass of water ( Or A Cup ) , a mirror , some matches , a peice of Paper , a string And a peice of Meat .

You'll use some of these things , not all , but you have to get the coin out without toching the water and without moving the coin .

he can just split the plate over, the coin willbe on the table and he wouldn't have touched the water

or use the string , put on side in the plate, and the other in the glass ( make the glass to be lower than the plate ..) water will run through the string (if it is made well ..) and to the glass, there will be no more water in the plate, now use the paper to make a glove, and using this glove get the coin out ...

something of this ?

(I want the turn for the next riddle ... i have a good one )

I don't understand. It sounds like you want us to move the coin without moving the coin. Eh?
I thought you could put the paper in the water and then light the paper. Yes. Light the paper. I read somewhere that the paper would burn up to the water line, evaporate the water and burn off, allowing you to remove the coin with the string or whatever. Or maybe not...
Where did you see this puzzle? I suppose the peice of meat is a red herring right? Get it? Piece of meat - red herring? The herring being a fish that could be a peice of meat? *Sigh* How low can I go...

Staifour , You Idea Is Not Very Good ! You Might Move The Coin
And Aslo I Forgot to say , " You're Not Allowed To Move The Plate "
Also I want to say , The Way I Want To Get The Coin Out Vertically

Anyway , FZ The Idea Of Vaporate Is Very Very Very Hard , And I Will Tell you Where You Read it , In Intergal's reply on one Of my Topics , But It's 0.5% Possible Here .

Anyway , The answer Is Really Easy , And This Idea Is Based on an Old Arabian physiotherapy(*) .

* I'm Not Sure From The Word

This What Should Be Done
1- Start a Fire By Bruning The PAper
2- Throw The Burning Paper In The Glass
3- Put The Glass Upside Down On The Water
4- The Upsided Down Glass Will Take The Water Into It ...
5- There's NoMore Water In The Plate
6- Take The coin By Hand

Easy Huh ?

Please , Put New Riddle Or Puzzle
