你真的是笨蛋嗎？試了就知道!

Answer： If you answered that you are first, then you are wrong!   If you overtake the second place person, and you take their place, you are second!

解答： 如果你的回答是第 1 名，你就錯了！你如果追過第 2名，你只是取代那人的位置，你是第 2 名。



To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.   回答第 2 題，你不能使用與回答第 1 題相同的時間。

Second Question ： 第二題
If you are in a race, and you overtake the last person, then you are?
你參加賽跑，你追過最後一名，你是第幾名？






Answer ： If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again.  Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?!  You're not having a good time at this! Are you?  
解答： 如果你的回答是倒數第 2 名，你又錯了！告訴我，你怎能追過最後一名？顯然你並未樂在其中！
