Basically you put some water into a condom and tie the end. Then you manipulate the condom to form a lens shape.
Once you get the shape correct the result is instant. Personally I favour Crampball Fungus for this method of firelighting.
I've just found this video which demonstrates the method rather well.

I bet that's one they'll never forget! can it be done with dirtier water?
I'm afraid not Sam. In fact the condom needs to be rinsed out a couple of times to remove the spermicide, which will otherwise slightly cloudy the water and prevent the method working.
