As we've started to see, there are different messages in the match's code sometimes.

The first on noticed was:

<a href="/match/" title="166 - How do you start a fire?">link</a>

The second:

<a href="/match/" title="239 There are five ways of attacking with fire... — Sun Tzu">link</a>

After a bit of research, I found this:

1. Sun Tzu said:  There are five ways of attacking
    with fire.  The first is to burn soldiers in their camp;
    the second is to burn stores; the third is to burn
    baggage trains; the fourth is to burn arsenals and magazines;
    the fifth is to hurl dropping fire amongst the enemy.

From here: http://www.chinapage.com/sunzi-e.html


PLEASE, oh please discuss this and post new ones! I think it's like the "Cooking" thing.

Maybe right now we're burning people by inviting them (link from match)?

Well, that would make sense, but in the Art of War, Tzu is referring to the enemy.
