Where is the Monkey ?
The blind man
A blind man is competing in a corporate-sponsored 100-meter dash
to help raise funds for charity.
1. No matter how fast he runs during the race, he cannot overtake
the runner in last place who is very slow. Why?
2. Just before crossing the finish line, he overtakes the runner in
second place. Did he, or did he not, finish the race in first place?
3. Why is the blind man, with his physical disability, able to compete
in the race?

Kumain sa restaurant ang tatlong magkakaibigan at
nag-ambagan sila ng tig-P100 bawat isa kaya ang pera nilang tatlo
ay P300. Ang nakain nila ay P250 lang kaya naisipan nilang ibalik
ang tig-P10 sa bawat isa at ang natirang P20 ay ibigay na tip sa
waiter.
Ang pera nila ay naging P270 na lang (P90 bawat isa.) Idagdag mo
ang P20 na ibinigay na tip sa waiter at ang suma ay P290 lang. Ang
pera nila dati ay P300. Saan napunta ang P10?
San sya naka harap?
Answers:
1. Someone cannot overtake a person who is behind him; he can only overtake

2. When the blind man overtakes the runner in second place, that runner drops
into third place and the blind man takes over the second place; he does not
finish first.
