You are in a 500 yard race on a straight track, racing against 5 other people. You overtake the person in last place just before you cross the finish line. What position do you finish?

You can't overtake the last person [img]tongue.gif[/img] You'd have to be behind him/her and if you are they're not the last person [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah Neb! You win today's riddle!

Actually, I Think The Answer Is First...

This Is Because When You Use The Term 'Last' You Don't Mean The Person In Last Place, You Mean The Last Person You Need To Overtake...

So Stick That In Your Pipe And Smoke It Neb... :D

Exactly! That means you could be overlapping someone and come first!

Willard 07-11-2002 10:26 AM

No, I meant the person in last place.

Beaumanoir 07-11-2002 02:34 PM

No, I'm Right!!! Because If You Meant The Person In Last Place, You Said: 'You Overtake The Last Person Which Means You Did. However, To Mean It Like That, Youd Have To Say: 'IF You Overtake...' Which Means.. Well... If You Did...
