Alone, I am a group of three.



When the leader becomes the trailer then I just did me.



Then reverse, turn back, I'm seven of twelve times two,



The one that's last to first is drunk second most by you.



If you've found me, don't yet brag or boast,



To finish, you must find where I'm found first, second, and third most.

          EAT is a group of three letters.




          When the leader becomes the trailer then I just did me




          ATE is the past tense of eat.




          Then reverse, turn back, I'm seven of twelve times two




          ETA is the 7th of the 24-letter Greek alphabet.




          The one that's last to first is drunk second most by you




          The alphabetically last letter T first, gives TEA, the second most consumed drink after water.




          To finish, you must find where I'm found first, second, and third most.




          These letters are the most common in the English language, in order: E, T, A

Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane.
