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
