Dear God my head hurts just thinking about what it may take to do that. I mean, I don't find it very difficult to imagine that flame propogation rates would increase with helium injection. Who knows what else may change?
Just make the pain stop!

I'm sorry! Here, have some Ibuprofen
Herm... I wonder how adding powdered ibuprofen would effect flame propagation rates...
Do not look back, and grieve over the past, for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come;
Live life in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.
