Hint
Who is in last place?
Answer
This cannot happen, you cannot overtake the person who is in last place, as there is no-one behind them!
Ovetaking = passing someone who is ahead on the same lap, this is a change of position, e.g. 4th moves up to 3rd.
Lapping = passing someone who is a full lap behind, this isn't a change of position, e.g. 4th stays 4th.
