One quote I have often heard: "Second place is the first loser."

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.#7: Gator (Gator) on Nov 30, 2009
Nice puzzle to solve.#8: Fran (rmm) on Dec 14, 2009
I had to guess on the legs, but I do like your runner :)#9: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Feb 21, 2012
I hate it when I come second place in solitaire.#10: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 21, 2012 [SPOILER]
I heard a report on NPR that people are happier with third place than second. 2nd place thinks "if only I had tried a bit harder" "I almost won" but 3rd thinks "I beat all those others who didn't even place"#11: Teresa K (fasstar) on Feb 21, 2012
How interesting. It does make sense.#12: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Feb 22, 2012
No, I'm even sadder when I come in third at solitaire. :(#13: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Feb 22, 2012
That IS sad.#14: Diana W (aeris) on Nov 11, 2012
I love your puzzles so far! They're small but not too easy. They require some advanced logic, but not so much as to stump me. Thank you for making them!#15: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Nov 11, 2012 [SPOILER]
You're welcome Diana. This is a really old one.#16: Leslie Clay (leslieclay) on Mar 10, 2014
#5 You only lose if you don't finish the race. If you don't quit you're a winner no matter where you place.#17: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 13, 2014
Poor Joe. Solitaire can be a rough game.#18: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Nov 25, 2019
Maybe you'd be in first place with some smaller lighter shoes#19: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Nov 25, 2019
Don't know how I missed this one but glad it came up in the Featured Puzzles today. Kinda tough solve but fun. The comments are always entertaining too!#20: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Feb 28, 2024 [SPOILER]
Even his shoes have the blues.
