Cool. I just went to the kitchen and it took me about 20 seconds to do. I used a matchstick instead cause I didnt have a toothpick.

Hmmm... looks like the spoon and the fork were at it. The toothpick didn't want to disturb. But it was kinda hot out there and it started to burn. By a super-toothpick effort it managed, at the very last minute, to extinguish the fire and saved cutlery love. Thus was born spork...

Part 2 - as for why the flame stops...Flames (heat) travels up. The utensils tip the toothpick a bit downward outside the glass. The glass is a barrier, at least on the bottom of the toothpick. It absorbs the heat. That's enough to stop the flame. If there was an accelerant (aka fuel such as wax or kerosene), it would keep on going.The flame isn't necessary. If you cut the toothpick in the beginning at the Center of Gravity, it'll balance. Look up Center of Gravity in a dictionary.

The principle is simple. Note that the utensil handles surpass the glass' rim (where the burnt toothpick ends) and go further inward. A vector analysis shows that the Center of Gravity is pretty much where the rim is. In other words, gravity is pulling hardest there, where the toothpick is on the rim. The entire construction is in balance. If the handles pointed away from the glass, it wouldn't work.
