If you notice the ranking is not consecutive with the use of the RANK function; that is because the RANK function ranks records of the result-set sequentially starting from 1. When it finds a tie it assigns the same rank to the all the records in the tie, but still keeps incrementing the record counter so the next record will get a new rank which would be (previous rank + no of records in the current tie + 1) .

Factual Impossibility. Factual Impossibility is a partial defense to a crime based on physical impossibility to perform the prohibited conduct or cause the prohibited results that would constitute the contemplated offense. Factual Impossibility is not a complete defense. It allows for prosecution for an attempt crime. For example, if a defendant placed a car bomb in his neighbor's car and it failed to explode, Factual Impossibility would be a defense to murder charges but not attempted murder.
