From The Daily Telegraph:
He is number two here (8,5)
The cunning distraction in this clue is the apparent nominative male pronoun. But that reading would make the solution ambiguous: are we looking for who "he" is or where "here" is? So there has to be another way of looking at it.
(By the by, such a clue would not be possible in Finnish, which has only gender-neutral pronouns and completely lacks grammatical gender.)
