So You Think You Can Add Up?

[The Wookiee]

Have a go at this bit of simple addition, it must be done in yoyu head only and Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator.

1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000 Now add 10.

What is the total?


I bet some people get it wrong!

[Cian]

i dont undertstand

Thicko

1000+1000+1000+1000=4000

40+30+20+10=100, NOT 1000

4000+100=4100

Try this question.

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

 

[Marc]

Thicko

1000+1000+1000+1000=4000

40+30+20+10=100, NOT 1000

4000+100=4100

I bet you used the latest G5.7mhx gig-of-bites TescoOS 123sheepRAM to come to that calculation DIDNT YOU?!?
