Riddle night tonight?

[C'DaleRider]

If you were running a race, and you passed the person in 2nd place, what place would you be in now?

 

[fatalbert]

2nd

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

2nd

 

[BigJ]

1st, because you had passed the person who currently holds 2nd place.

Thus making him 3rd place and you 2nd.

both arguments hold water.

It's second.........you never passed the first place runner.

another one.........

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Wow :Q

That was good! How did you figure it out? As in did you know it already or you just thought of it?

 

[C'DaleRider]

The next row is:

1113213211

Starting with the second line, every line describes the line before it. In writing, it is:
One One
Two Ones
One Two One One
etc.
etc.

Already knew it from a few weeks ago when we had a riddle contest in English. No one in the class got this one correct.

1st - notice the tenses. You passED the person IN second place. The person that is in second right now you already passed.

EDIT: AH nevermind, it's not such a good thought now that I think about it, which is kinda ironic. I see this is dead now too.

EDITED EDIT: Hmm, now that I think about it some more it is a good thought.
