🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 6
• Problem Statement: The player who was in 3rd place overtakes the driver in 2nd place, so enter 2
• Difficulty: Easy

🎯 Objective

Read the sentence carefully and correctly judge the position of the player after overtaking and enter the number.

📝 Steps to Solve

1. Read the problem statement slowly and focus on the part that says "the player who was in 3rd place" and "overtakes the driver in 2nd place".
2. Confirm that the player who was in 3rd place overtakes the "driver in 2nd place" and not 1st place.
3. Remember that when you overtake someone, you take the position that person was in.
4. In other words, when the player in 3rd place overtakes the driver in 2nd place, that player becomes 2nd.
5. Enter the number "2" in the answer box to confirm.

💡 Hints

• Focus only on "what position was the person overtaken?".
• Remember the rule of racing: when you overtake someone, you take the position of the person you overtook.
• The person in 3rd place overtakes the "driver in 2nd place", not 1st. So the answer is that position.

🧠 Explanation & Points

This problem is a common trap problem regarding race positions. Many people rush to judgment with "overtake = become 1st", but the problem statement clearly states "overtakes the driver in 2nd place". In a race, when a competitor overtakes another, they take the overtaken person's position. Therefore, if the player in 3rd place overtakes the driver in 2nd place, the new position becomes 2nd. This is a comprehension-type problem that tests whether you can correctly understand the sentence, requiring no calculations or complex operations.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Instantly assume "overtake = became 1st" and enter "1" as the answer.
• Misinterpret that "since originally 3rd, even after overtaking, remains 3rd".
• Treat it like a calculation problem such as "3rd + 2nd" and think of a completely different number.
• Skip the part of the problem statement that says "driver in 2nd place" and do not notice who was overtaken.

🎉 Advice After Clearing

Successfully determine it as 2nd and clear. Being calm and reading the sentence thoroughly is the key to solving this type of puzzle.
