    Question #23756. Charlie asks:

    In a 14-stage race there were 100 competitors, among them 'Crazy' Charlie. In all 14 stages 'Crazy' charlie finished in the same position: 93rd. However, at the end of the race, 'Crazy' Charlie was declared runner-up in the competition: his accumulated time was less that that of all the other competitors except one, the champion. Bearing in mind the fact that none of the 100 competitors withdrew from the race, how was it possible for 'Crazy' Charlie to finish second if he never even made it into the top 90 competitors?


    Senior Moments

    		98 different competitors came along way behind Charlie in the 7 places after him in the 14 stages (7 X 14 = 98). Charlie makes 99 so the 100th would not be able to be placed after him in one of the stages so would therefore be ahead of him in the final result.
