A quiz I was sent to brighten your day. Excuse the capitals - I'm copying and pasting.

FIRST QUESTION:
YOU ARE A PARTICIPANT IN A RACE. YOU OVERTAKE THE SECOND PERSON. WHAT POSITION ARE YOU IN?


SECOND QUESTION:
IF YOU OVERTAKE THE LAST PERSON, THEN YOU ARE....?

THIRD QUESTION:
VERY TRICKY ARITHMETIC! NOTE:
THIS MUST BE DONE IN YOUR HEAD ONLY.
DO NOT USE PAPER AND PENCIL OR A CALCULATOR.

TAKE 1000 AND ADD 40 TO IT. NOW ADD ANOTHER 1000 NOW ADD 30.
ADD ANOTHER 1000. NOW ADD 20 .. NOW ADD ANOTHER 1000.
NOW ADD 10... WHAT IS THE TOTAL?

FOURTH QUESTION:
MARY'S FATHER HAS FIVE DAUGHTERS: 1. NANA, 2. NENE, 3... NINI, 4. NONO, AND ?
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FIFTH DAUGHTER?



FIFTH QUESTION
A MUTE PERSON GOES INTO A SHOP AND WANTS TO BUY A TOOTHBRUSH.
BY IMITATING THE ACTION OF BRUSHING HIS TEETH HE SUCCESSFULLY EXPRESSES HIMSELF TO THE SHOPKEEPER AND THE PURCHASE IS DONE.
NEXT, A BLIND MAN COMES INTO THE SHOP WHO WANTS TO BUY A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES; HOW DOES HE INDICATE WHAT HE WANTS

Answers tomorrow
 
1) second
2) second to last
3) 4100
4) Mary
5) tell the shopkeeper he wants sunglasses
 
I'm pretty sure about all my answers except question 2 is the answer that you are lapping them and therefore could, in theory, be in any position in-front of them.
 
1. 2nd
2. 1st (as it is the last person you can't have been in last position so therefore must be lapping them).
3. 4100
4. Mary
5. Says he wants sunglasses because he's not mute

1) second
2) first. You can’t be last as you’ve overtaken the last person. So you’ve lapped them.
3) 4100
4) Mary
5) Pretends he’s putting on a pair of glasses?...
 
But if you overtake the last person then you’re lapping them. It’s happened...it’s one of those days 🤦🏾‍♀️
 
but really anyone who isn't last on a track race can lap the last person so although it would be more likely if you were in first we can't rule out the fact that the last person could be so far behind everyone that the second to last person could also lap them.
