Lenny Conundrum - Round #414

The Neopian Runners Club held a race last Thursday (all proceeds to benefit the PPL). Unfortunately, there's been a bit of a mix up with the results. All the race officials know is that the runner who came in three places in front of the runner who finished last came in two places ahead of the runner who came in seventh. (They're runners, not record keepers.)
How many finished the race? Enter an integer.

Answer : 8

  6. I got eight, by drawing a quick diagram.
    It says that the one who finished three placed in front of last place...

    Last ___ ___ X

    ...was two places in front of the one who finished Seventh.

    Last 7th ___ x

    Therefore, the 7th runner was directly in front of the last runner, making the last runner 8th. So the answer is 8.

    same here. i refreshed the moment it was released, too bad i double-triple-quadruple-wtv-checked the anwser (spending like, 2 minutes -.-), coz last LC i knew the anwser but i typed the anwser wrong. i think i'll get bronze.

  10. They asked for an integer. So putting "eight" wouldn't count. :/ Sorry

  12. LOL what, if you put eight that's fine. o_O

  13. I completely agree with Brooke. The diagram I used was exactly the same. I answered as soon as it came out. If I don't get in top 250, something must be wrong.

  14. I put +8. Is it the same thing as 8?

  15. Usually, if you just get the numerical number it should be fine. They don't really care about the extra stuff.

  16. 8, that was really easy too

    ReplyDelete
  17. Do I have a chance of making it into top 250.
    I answered correctly at 3:51 or 3:52 NST.
    It might be too late. D:

  18. Wow, Lenny Conundrum has gotten ridiculously easy lately, the last 3 puzzles have been way too easy to solve. I hope the next one will be a difficult math problem or something similar, that can't be solved by a 10-year old, in 2 minutes -.-

  19. I can't believe how easy this one was, I'm gutted I didn't answer it sooner.

  20. Hey where are all the people who said the answer to the last conundrum is 1551 ? I want to rub it in their faces.

  21. ^ I doubt people were actually that dumb, they were tryna get more points by spreading wrong answers, I reckon.
