Race with no ending

Let me give you a scenario. There was a race, one won and the other was defeated one way to another. But after some turn of events, one says he’s the winner. The other went to the umpire complaining that the one is not the true winner since the other one was not disqualified or cheated in the race.

 

The immediate umpire ruled that the other one is still the winner and was always the winner and of course, as expected, the one went to the next umpire to complain and say the ruling made by the immediate umpire was not to be carried out until his argument was heard by the next umpire. The next umpire says, well we have to hear this and we agree that the immediate umpire ruling was not to be carried out until we hear the one.

 

The one went and tell the whole world that the next umpire has declared him as the winner even though the next umpire only declares that it is just a postponement of the ruling made by the immediate umpire. It is not however to be construed as the declaration of the one as winner.

 

All in all, to sum up, the next umpire’s declaration of postponement is just to allow the one to prepare his argument for the next umpire to hear and not to declare him as the winner.
