аукцион "пока горит свеча" | candle auction (= auction by the candle; In a candle auction, the end of the auction is signaled by the expiration of a candle flame, which was intended to ensure that no one could know exactly when the auction would end and make a last-second bid: So, while there will be an official end to the auction, the candle auction refers to the random snapshot in time prior to the end that will determine the auction winner |
