Who asks why we light eight candles instead of seven candles on Hanukkah?

Hanukkah commemorates this miracle with the lighting of candles on eight successive nights. A Hanukkah menorah, with nine branches instead of the seven on a regular menorah, is used for this purpose. Eight of the candles are lit one by one on each night of Hanukkah, and the ninth candle, known as the shamash, is lit every night and used to kindle the other candles.The Beis Yosef has a famous question: Why do we light for eight nights, if the miracle of Hanukkah is that the oil lasted for seven extra nights? (There are many answers given to this question. Many as in over one hundred!)
