Imagine now you're a runner at a competition. you run so hard and now just behind the second runner.........here's the question: when you overpass the second runner, your rank become...?

the way you might think:

1. because I outstripped the second, I became the first.
2. because I outstripped the second, then I replace the ranking of the second, I became the second runner

Clearly, we all know n0.2 is the right way to think.

then, how about this......

you 're also running in a competition and you overpass the last runner, your rank become...?

choose your answer:

1. the last one
2. the second last one

think carefully before you answer it....HA

haha, ya, actually none of these answers are corrcet, because u would be the last runner. and since that you can't overpass yourself.

Done a nice work, Joey!!
