Try Finally Python Quiz

When working on my Python compiler Nuitka, I often come across ridiculous language details of the Python language, and turn these into quizzes, for which I finally added a dedicated quiz tag.

Anyway, who can predict, what these will do to you:

def f():
    try:
        return 1
    finally:
        return 2

Will it return 1 or 2 ?

def f():
    try:
        1 / 0
    finally:
        return 2

Will this raise an ZeroDivisionError or return 2 ?

def f():
    while 1:
        try:
            continue
        finally:
            break

Is this an endless loop or does it return?

def f():
    while 1:
        try:
            break
        finally:
            continue

What about that? This one holds an inconsistency.

No solutions yet this time.
