which is more confusing, the sign or the runner

there's always a joker in every race. jack & adam's bike shop, the sponsor of the longhorn tri, always promises one athlete: "Wear this Hat, and we Promise you'll podium in your age-group." Little does the winner realize that Jack extends the # of "podium winners" just enough to include the person that wears the hat. Last year anyone in the top 42 in the Men's 40-44 age group made it onto the podium.
