Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 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?
Scroll down for answer…..

Did you get 5000?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
If you don’t believe it, check it with a calculator!
Clever! You get so caught up in the 1000’s you don’t pay attention to the 100!
Bulwark says : I absolutely agree with this !
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
