As we know that for an object or substance to burn, its by means of carbon. Fire is very complex and needs oxygen for it to burn so by putting a beaker over a candle you are actually cutting the consumption of oxygen by fire, which will stop the fire from burning.
THAT ANSWER IS FALSE. Because the candle is under a beaker and most beakers have lips the beaker is not fully cut off from oxygen so there is still oxygen. The candle does go out because of the carbon dioxide that is in the beaker

What invention did loki beaker obtain a secret patent in sims 2psp?
I don't remember exactly, but I know how to find it. Go into the Beakers' house, and go into the nearest door on the left. There should be a wardrobe. Go over to it, and press the option that says "examine". After your sim looks at the wardrobe for a while and then stops (you might get a popup, ignore this), then go over to Circe Beaker- the one with dark skin and red hair- and talk to her.
