You're hosting a cozy dinner party and want to know exactly how long your candles will last before the room goes dark mid-dessert. Build a single-page candle burn time estimator. The user enters a candle's **diameter (inches)**, **height (inches)**, and **wick count**, then clicks a button to instantly see the estimated burn time in hours and minutes. Use the standard approximation: a single-wick candle burns roughly **7–9 hours per inch of diameter** (use 8 as your base), scaled by height as a multiplier (taller = more wax = more burn time), and divided proportionally by wick count (more wicks burn faster). Display the result as a friendly card showing: estimated total burn hours, a plain-English label (e.g. "Lasts through a long dinner" for 2–4 hrs, "Weekend centerpiece" for 8–20 hrs, etc.), and a small flame emoji that pulses via CSS animation when a result is shown. Allow the user to clear the form and estimate a second candle. Keep all state in the page — no backend, no storage needed.
