I don't know... I haven't placed at all since I've moved up to the 17-29 year old division (not that I've competed any more than 4 times since then), but I used to place a lot...

I think I have more 3rd place trophies than the other two, so I'll go with that. :-X

I don't compete most of the time, but I've never placed in anything I've competed in.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

Mostly, smash bros and that's usually 13-4th (I've placed higher, but 13-4th is more common).

the competitions i was in were quiz bowl/trivia competitions, with many different schools, we did well, but it's hard to pin down the exact level of performance.

"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

Usually 5th or so.
In competitions with ~20 participants, not all that bad. I did get 1st once in a (small) Chess tournament, and got 1st once with my team in the Munich Chess School Championship (and then 4th in the Bavarian).
In the Mathematical Kangaroo, I usually got 1st or 2nd, but except for the one time with 150 points, that only meant that I was above a certain sum of points (which a lot of people were).

Went with the 4th option.
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

I don't compete very often. If I do, depends on the competition. :P I tend to place well in academic/writing-oriented competitions and not so well in physical/performance-oriented competitions.
