If the Olympic Torch is FIRST lit, and then travels the world until it reaches the final destination WITHOUT being extinguised - then how does it travel by plane? Surely they must have to put it out!!?

The daft questions that people come up with in pubs ehh!!

Hocus pokus!
They put it out and relight it using another protected flame lit from the torch.

Not to mention that What is the point of a torch relay through the world if they have to hide the torch the whole way 'round?
