Poacher Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 i am demented but i still think i've got the right answer for the first question You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in? My answer 3rd to last Im right because it never states where you started i assumed at the back..if it had said You are participating in a race. You overtake the person in second position. What position are you in? then i'd be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
