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!
