Good at maths?

You've got to add this up in your head - no pen and paper or calculator!

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!
