See the answer below by moving your mouse here
Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, then you are wrong!
If you overtake the second and you take his place, you arrive second!

Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST!
The question is wrong!
You're not very good at this are you???
Third Question
Subject: Very Tricky math!
Note: This riddle must be done in your head only and NOT using paper and pen.
Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
Add another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
What is the total?
Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!
The decimal sequence confuses our brain, that always jumps to the highest decimal (100s instead of 10s).
That should have you in a bad mood for the rest of the day!
You are the weakest link.
Goodbye.

CROSSING THE BRIDGE

Tom was a juggler. He juggled the pineapples while he crossed the bridge.
A Boy AND GIRL
As you are travelling in the kingdom of Jerafa, you come upon a boy and a girl who are dressed exactly alike.
"I'm a boy:' says the one with red hair.
"I'm a girl:' says the one with black hair.
If at least one of them is not telling the truth, which is which? !
The boy has black hair and the girl has red hair. The statement "At least one of them is not telling the truth" means that one or more is not telling the truth. That is either the first one or the second one is not telling the truth-or both are not. If the first one is not telling the truth, then the first speaker is in truth a girl. Since the opening sentence says there is a boy and a girl," if the first speaker is in truth a girl, then the second speaker must be a boy. We arrive at the same result if we begin with the assumption that the second speaker is not telling truth. The fact is that, in accordance with the given information, if either one of them is not telling the truth, the other isn't either.
THE TWO STUDENTS
Two girls appeared at the registrar's office of a college. The receptionist handed each of them a questionnaire to fill out. Each girl wrote the following facts on the questionnaire. Each had the last name Smith. Each was born on February 29, 1960. Each was born at 376 East 53rd Street, New York City. Each had a father named John Smith and a mother named Gertrude Smith. When the girls had completed the questionnaires they handed them to the registrar. The registrar read them and asked, "Are you two girls sisters?" They replied, "Yes, we are:' Looking up from his papers, the registrar saw the two girls and noticed that they looked exactly alike. He said, "You're twins, aren't you?" They both promptly answered, "No" Assuming that all the answers they gave were true, and that they had the same mother and father, how do you account for the fact that they were not twins?
They were two of a set of triplets.
HOW CAN IT BE?

A SPRING WALK
A man lived at the southern tip of a small forest which was exactly circular in shape. His house was at the very edge of the forest. One fine day in the spring he decided to take a walk around the forest. He set out from his house, heading in a westerly direction, that is going in a clockwise direction, all around the forest and returning to his house. He found that it took him eighty minutes to do this, walking at a steady rate and making no stops along the way. Another day a few months later, he again took a walk around the forest, but this time he went in a counterclockwise direction. Walking at the same rate as before and making no stops, he found that the trip took him one hour and twenty minutes. Can you explain why?
It took the man the same length of time to go in a clockwise direction or in a counter-clockwise direction. One hour and twenty minutes is the same as eighty minutes.
MARRIAGE OR DEATH
Ruling over the kingdom of Komosay was a very powerful king who had a beautiful daughter named Yamah. When Yamah fell in love with a poor peasant boy, the king was shocked and distressed . To show how fair he was, however, he promised to give the boy a 50-50 chance to marry his daughter by letting him choose one of two slips of paper. On one piece of paper would be written the word MARRIAGE; on the other, the word DEATH. Because ofhis great love for Yamah, the boy agreed to take this risk. As he came near to the castle on the fateful day, he happened to overhear a conversation between the king and one of his attendants: "Your Majesty," said the attendant, "how can you do this thing, and let that unworthy boy have a chance of marrying your daughter?" The deceitful king laughed and said, "The way I will do it, he will have no chance. I will write the word DEATH on both pieces of paper. But of course, he will not know that; he will think he has chosen the wrong piece of paper," When the boy heard that he was stunned and didn't know what to do. But then he thought of a clever solution to the problem. When the time came to choose, he put his plan into action. The next day he and the princess were married. What was his solution?
fefeee
The boy chose one of the pieces of paper and immediately swallowed it. Then he said that the remaining piece of paper (the one he didn't choose) should be read. Since (as he knew) it would contain the word DEATH, the piece he had chosen must (according to the king's stated rules) have said MARRIAGE. The king could not deny this without exposing his dark and devious plot.
Two travellers in a desert land have been given an eight-litre bottle of water. Since they will be going in different directions, they want to divide the water equally, so they will each have four litres. However, all they have with them for the purpose of measuring are two containers, one of which holds five litres, and the other three litres. At first it seems impossible to make an even division of four litres each by using the three containers on hand, but they finally manage to do it. How do they do this?
You begin with eight litres of water in the bottle; the two smaller containers are empty. Step 1: Pour water into the five-litre container until it is full; this will leave three litres in the eight-Iitre bottle. Step 2: Pour water from the five-litre container into the three-litre container until the latter is full; this will leave two litres in the fivelitre container. You now have three litres in the biggest container, two litres in the middle container, and three litres in the smallest container. Step 3: Pour the three litres out of the smallest container into the biggest container. You now have six litres in the biggest container, two litres in the middle container, and nothing in the smallest container. Step 4: Pour the two litres from the middle container into the smallest container. You now have six litres in the largest container, nothing in the middle container, and two litres in the smallest container. Step 5: Pour water from the largest container into the middle container until the latter is full. This will leave one litre in the largest container, five litres in the middle container, and two litres in the smallest container. Step 6: Pour water from the middle container into the smallest container. (Since the latter already contains two litres, it will take only one litre to fill it.) This leaves four litres in the middle container, three litres in the smallest container, and one litre in the largest container. Step 7: Pour the three litres from the smallest container into the largest container, which will then contain four litres. You now have four litres in the large (eight-litre) bottle and four litres in the five-litre container.
