They can all tie for first place in one way,
which is, that they all arrive first with no order.
<h3>Possibility 1 = 1 way</h3>If one person arrives in first place, this leaves 3 to tie for second, All 4 players can arrive first and the other 3 would have to tie in second so,
<h3>Possibility 2 = 4 ways</h3>If two people take the first two spots, this leaves two people to tie for third place, All four players can occupy the first position and the other 3 can switch in second leaving two to tie at last. and this can happen in 4 ways.
<h3>Possibility 3 = 4(3) = 12 ways</h3><h3>Possibility 4 = 24 ways (solved)</h3><h3>Total ways = 1 + 4 + 12 + 24 = 41 ways</h3><h2>Answer = 41 ways</h2>
