I still don't see how it's possible to get 5000 from that ???

Maybe I'm just abnormally clever ...

A lot of people are going to get the 100 from the smaller numbers and forgot that its not got an extra trailing zero

My programming side of my brain had to fight over the dyspraxia to not say 5000....

Try this question.

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Depends where you are racing, if you are doing laps of the track the first time you overtake the second person can be when you are first

Dictionary.com != a medical dictionary

Its a bit like dyslexia, but its not in another way. Basically means I fall over a lot, can't draw and can't do languages.

OK you are in a race and you overtake the bloke who is in last place.

What posistion are you in?

2nd from last, unless its a two man race then you'd be in 1st! or a 3 man race and you'd be 2nd! etc etc

Here is another question, remember dont think too hard about it.

Mary's father has five daughters:
1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?

EDIT: Mary. Read the thing too fast, dammit
