Answer:
If you answer that you arrived first, than you are absolutely
wrong!!! Because you overtake the second so you arrived second!!


To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you
took for the first question.

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 decimals (100s instead of 10s)
