If you were running in a race and you?

Question

overtook he last person in the race just before the finish line what position would you be in?

Answer 1

you are nass. if you overtook the last person in the race then you would be lapping them because before you overtake them they are last, then why are you behind them unless you are lapping them.

you don't have to be first in the race just ahead of last place

Answer 2

If you mean the last person is the last person in the race and not the first person in the race, then you would be in next to last person. Your overall position would depend on how many runners were in the race.

Answer 3

1st position!!

Answer 4

I'll assume that you can't overtake yourself, and that would mean that you are overtaking someone else who is last. If you are overtaking someone else who is last then you must be in front of them, and must also be lapping them.

To lap the last place in a race of 5 people, then you must be at least 4th. You could be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, its hard to tell.

Answer 5

come on people! It's a riddle. THe answer is 2nd to last

Answer 6

4th? or second to last? :S

Answer 7

yes it is a riddle as the previous person said and they are right. if there are 5 total runners including you in the count you would be second to last or 4th. if there are 6 total runners then you'd be in 5th.
