Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000.
Now add 30. And another 1000.
Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.
What is the total?

Scroll to the bottom to find out.....












































































































































studies have shown that 98% of the people that do this end up with 5000, when the answer is, in fact, 4100.



i was one of the idiots that got 5000 too :S

^ that's cheating! you gotta do it in ORDER. that's why it's written like that.

i guess the big thing is if that was on a test, it wouldn't have the title MIND TEST, so you would be pretty unsuspecting.

Yea I finally got what I was doing wrong. When you do it in your head, you turn those 10s into 100s and because the smaller numbers add up to 100 and you add each number in your head as a 100, it makes it seem like its another 1000. Man that was a really complicated explanation but props if you get what im saying.

it's all the last 10. when you're saying to yourself 'four thousand ninety...' then 'five thousand!'

1000
40
30
20
10

5000


i don't see a possible way it could be any different. unless the "and another" doesn't qualify as technically "adding" then it would be 4000.
