Every year on my birthday I get a cake with as many candles as my age, and I blow them all out. In total I have blown out 666 candles in my life, starting with 1 candle on my first birthday (I could blow out candles already at age 1). How old am I? Assume I have just blown out the candles on my latest birthday.
