Chronoligical position as answer

Hi,
I am Koshy. I belong to India.
Here's my problem.
Help me to frame question so that I get "Mr. Fox was the Seventh person to conquer the Everest" as the answer.
Please understand that I want Mr.Fox in the question. ie The question shouldn't be "Who was the seventh person to conquer the Everest"
Regards and thanks
Koshy

Hi Koshy, English doesn't have a construction for that, so I'd consider rephrasing the problem. " The answer will be one out from your desired question, but it's the best I can think of right now. Rommie

Hi Koshy,

English doesn't have a construction for that, so I'd consider rephrasing the problem. This should do the trick:

"How many people had conquered Everest before Mr Fox?"

The answer will be one out from your desired question, but it's the best I can think of right now.
