1. Second position
2. First position if its a multiple lap race, otherwise you can't overtake the last person.
3. 4100
4. Nunu
5. He's blind he doesn't need sunglasses! But he can just say it out loud.

So number 4 got me :P
And I just realized for number 2: It could be any position from first to second last

You lapped them, on a circular track; that's why I thought you would have to be first, because if you overtake the last person (which indicates the position they held before you passed them), then that means either you had to be last and now they are last or you lapped them. Seems that the wording indicates what I said.

Mmmmm, I think that's the only way, and you have the answer.

1.2nd

Hey, how's the answer not 5000[/color]?

 

[rachmaninoff]

Hey, how's the answer not 5000[/color]?

1000+40+1000+30+1000+20+1000=4090

4090 + 10 = 4100

I originally paid no attention to the first part of the question "mary's father" and just looked at the pattern of names. It wasn't until I reread it later that I caught the obvious.
At least I can count.
The correct title of the quiz should be "how well do you pay attention?"

I'd white out paid no attention to the first part of the question "mary's father" and.
