AND THE WINNER IS...OR ISNT...Most people answer this incorrectly as now you're in first place. But you're not, you're in second place. Your originating position is third place. When you overtake the second place runner, you are now the second place runner. WRONG!It never says you finished
If you "over take" a person in any position/place, you obviously finish in that person's position/place. You finish in Second.
Second place
Second. You WERE 3rd, passed the person in 2nd, giving you 2nd place. There is still someone ahead of you.
If you passed him after you crossed the finish line, he finished 2nd so you're in the 3rd place now. Or you may have passed him while you were running the other way, you were not in the race at all, then hopefully you would be in the place you were running to. The simplest answer is that when you passed the person in second place, you would now be in second place yourself.
= If you are running a race and passed the person in second place what place would you be in? = The Answer is 2nd Place The person you passed is now in third place. The person in first place is just in front of you (Because it does not say that you have passed the person in first place) *The answer Can be First Place (as it still fits the need of "passed the person in second place) but it's assumed that you have ONLY passed the person in second place (since the first placer isn't mentioned), and thus, with the reasoning above, puts you into second place.

the hundredths place
a dang good position to be in
You are now in second place. The person you overtook is now in third place. You have effectively swapped your positions.
Second or third, but more likely second.
