Help with SQL query

I have these tables:

person(pid, name,email,phone,city)

ride(rid,pid,date,spots,start,target) [rideID, personID- the person who offers the ride, spots= open slots in the ride, start and target are the destinations]

participate(pid,rid)- person pid participates in ride rid

I have to satisfy the function generousUsers(k)

generosity ranking is defined by the number of rides the person offers. I have to find the Kth generous users by this definition (there may be more than one) or return NULL if we have less than K people on the list.

the PID in ride is the offerer and pid in the participate relationship are the passengers

I can not use recursion in this query as this isn't SQL3.
I've tried something like
Code:
Select pid From 
    (Select pid, count(*) as ranking, row_number() OVER (Order By ranking Desc) as Rownum 
    From Ride 
    Group By pid
    Order By ranking desc)
    Where Rownum < K


But I don't know how to return the EXPLICIT Kth generous user and if we have a few tied-K, I have to return all of them ordered by the user who has the earliest date that has offered a ride.
