There are 25 horses and only five tracks in a race.
How do you find the second coming horse of all the 25
horses, provided there is no stop clock? (obviously, a
horse cannot participate more than once in a race).

The first soln is correct, but I think its not understandable.
and @ Animesh Sonkar, your soln is correct until 6th race.
In the 7th race, u have eliminated the first rank, the fouth
nd the fifth. But u have raced only 4 horses.. that is whr u
missed. Correct Soln.:-
The fifth horse in the seventh race would be rank 2 horse of
the group which has 2nd rank in the fifth (all winners) race.
So, all the scenarios would be taken care of now.
Eg. after 5th race, let the positions be:
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 (in order of rank)
now A1 is the fastest.--> eliminate it
D1 nd E1 can't be 2nd nd 3rd.(!!!)
Now we remain with B1 nd C1.
The other horses in the race would be A2 A3 and B2.
So, in every possible case, we can get the first three
positions confirmed.
* We don't need B3 because, B1 nd B2 are already faster than
it (evn after leaving A1), therefore, it can't be 3rd.
* We don't need horse C2 because, B1 nd C1 are already
faster than C2, therefore it is not the contender of top
three positions.
:) :) HAPPY PUZZLING :) :)
