In a bicycle race, the man who came two places in front of the last man finished one ahead of the man who came fifth. How many contestants were there?
...the man who came two places in front of the last man: Let the last three people in the race be x, y and z. This means our man is x and the last man is z and there is y in between them.
... finished one ahead of the man who came fifth: so x is one position ahead of the 5th guy, that means x is in the 4th position.
So if x is 4th position, y will be 5th position and z will be 6th position. So there are 6 people in the race

Some messages aren’t supposed to last forever. There are some Telegram groups and conversations where it’s best if messages are automatically deleted in a day or a week. Here’s how to auto-delete messages in any Telegram chat. You can enable the auto-delete feature on a per-chat basis. It works for both one-on-one conversations and group chats. Previously, you needed to use the Secret Chat feature to automatically delete messages after a set time. At the time of writing, you can choose to automatically delete messages after a day or a week. Telegram starts the timer once they are sent, not after they are read. This won’t affect the messages that were sent before enabling the feature.
That growth environment will include rising inflation and interest rates. Those upward shifts naturally accompany healthy growth periods as the demand for resources, products and services rise. Importantly, the Federal Reserve has laid out the rationale for not interfering with that natural growth transition.It's not exactly a fad, but there is a widespread willingness to pay up for a growth story. Classic fundamental analysis takes a back seat. Even negative earnings are ignored. In fact, positive earnings seem to be a limiting measure, producing the question, "Is that all you've got?"
