Question

RIDDLE ME THIS:

You are in a race. You pass the person in second place. What place are you in now.

Answer 1

If you pass the person in second place in a race, you would then be in second place, as you have only overtaken the runner-up, not the leader.

Step-by-step explanation:

The riddle you have presented is a classic brain teaser used to challenge one's logical thinking. Upon passing the person in second place in a race, you would take their place, thus you would be in second place now. It's a common misconception to think you would be in first place, but you have only overtaken the runner-up, not the person in first place.

Answer 2

Second place, because you are over taking the person that was in second so you are practically stealing the position from him
