Response to last comment
The olive oil used is not the olive oil purchased in a grocery store. It is a completely different grade. Not knowing someone who has ever used olive oil does not make the answer incorrect :) Also the 3rd questions asks for how many candles NOT including the Shamash. You light the same number of candles as the day of Chanukah that it is.
