How Is This Possible?
Someone please check this for me...I don't have a calculator...If it turns out to be TRUE...Please explain to me HOW...
My friend Josh just sent this to me: 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! |
i got 4100 your mind tried to trick you into making 4090 into 5000 by adding 10.
if you say it outloud as you count its easy |
i started to notice that i got a 5 in there somehwere, so i started over and got it right :)

A math illusion instead of an optical illusion. Nifty. I suck at math. I had to do fractions earlier today. Damnit.
