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 |

lol...No...We all did the same thing here...Went from 4090 to 5000 with that last 10...I suppose that's what you're supposed to do without really thinking about it...We all fell for it:o

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