Sep 26, 2018 at 15:14 comment added Jaap Scherphuis @Cashbee: Oh right. Neeraj being second at the end was only part of the first question. And I also can't count.
Sep 26, 2018 at 15:11 comment added kscherrer @JaapScherphuis nobody said anything about being second at the end of the race (That is a condition for the other question, which the answers shouldn't focus on). And no, Karan and Ishant are in the lead together for 17 seconds ;)
Sep 26, 2018 at 15:10 comment added Jaap Scherphuis But if Neeraj was second while Ashish and Harsh are in the lead, how can he then still be second at the end of the race? Instead he must be second while Karan and Ishant are in the lead, which also happens to be 27 seconds.
