You know, I used to think I was smart because I knew all the
answers to "puzzles" like these.  But after a while, I realized
that I had just read a bunch of the puzzle books, and memorized
the answers (or if the the exact answers, the tricks needed to
get the answers...)  So what does THAT make me?

But this one is indeterminate, isn't it?  You can't overtake
yourself.  There's an answer on the web that says you're first and 
you've lapped the field, but if there are laps involved, then anyone
and everyone could overtake the last person...

I liked this one.  I don't think I've seen it before...
