mike callen had the correct answer. the old lady could make eight cigarettes in all. with 49 butts, the woman would have made seven cigarettes, smoked them all, then had seven butts left over, and made one last cigarette out of the remaining butts. the riddle is unclear as to what the old lady does with the lone cigarette butt at the end.
i assume mike likes riddles. he thought a lot about this one. mike, you win the prize. but there really is no prize, sorry. but you do get the congratulations. cheers . . ..
