Ten foot wide, no shovel or jet pack, just you and the cloths on your back.

Assuming that I can use something to start another fire I would have my back on the coming fire and start a new one in front of me. Then I would walk in the burned ground of the new fire (where no fire from the coming one can start again).
Actually this is sometimes used in real forest fire fighting situations (create a smaller controllable fire to detain a bigger one). Coming from Greece who suffers every Summer on fires you get to learn this.
Hope it is the correct answer btw

It is the correct answer, well done.
I would have also accepted 'It doesn't matter, you died of blood loss six days ago'

A guy was buying eggs for 20 cents each and then he was selling them for 10 cents each (cents in the same currency).
How did he become a Millionaire (in the same currency again) ?

That's pretty standard practise in most supermarkets (obviously not always with eggs and not always for those prices).
I'm guessing his name was Mr Sainsbury? Or Mr Co-Op?

Edit: For a handful of products only to entice folk in.

I thought the supermarkets did the opposite (buy for 10 and then sell for 20)

He was the patent holder for a treatment for salmonella?
Or he went on that quiz show?
Or the eggs he bought were fertilized, and the eggs he sold were the resulting produce...

Better
This guy only buys eggs for 20 and sells them for 10 (huge quantities of them). And at the moment he doesn't have any other income.

@Mr_Grue: No,no and No

He won the lottery?

He sells advertising space on the eggs?

Nope

Buy one chicken egg (20c), chicken lays 10 eggs (i have no idea how many eggs a chicken can lay, I'm guessing). now you have 11 chickens, 11 chickens lay 110 eggs, now you have 121 chickens. 121 chickens lay 1210 eggs, now you have 1331 chickens. 1331 chickens lay 13310 eggs...
You see where I'm going, just start selling eggs at some point.

He sells them as is and he has no intention of breeding chicken.
The answer is very simple and very logical.
Again the question is:

How did he become a millionaire ?

Daddy was one?
