Here are four fun questions. Answer them quickly.
1. You are running in a race, and you overtake the second-place runner. What position are you in, now?
2. Different race. If you overtake the last-place runner, then you are in . . . ?
3. Mary’s father has five daughters: #1 is Nana, #2 is Nene, #3 is Nini, #4 is Nono. What is the name of daughter #5?
4. A mute person goes into a shop to buy a toothbrush. He imitates the action of brushing his teeth, thereby clearly expressing himself to the shopkeeper, and the purchase is made.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How does he indicate what he wants?

It's very strange that noone mentioned that you don't have to be in first to overtake someone. As such, the answer to 2 is more correctly: "Unknown, but could be any place except for last."
Good Day
