Re: Do this in your head
Just because I'm a mentor doesn't mean I'm immune to mistakes!

It's actually 4100. After I added it up again I got 4100.

Wink Re: Do this in your head
Yeap 4100, I got it the first try but i think the part where you get confused is when you get to 4090 and then add ten if you are trying to do it fast it is very likely you will say 5000.

Its a pretty good one.

Re: Do this in your head
Oh man.. you got me the first time. But then again I'm not a math major, and I suck at anything math related. But the second attempt... I got it... so I guess it's "2nd time is the charm" now...

Re: Do this in your head
well my first answer was 42, since it is the answer to everything.

Then I actually did some math and it ended up being 42 + 4058 or 4100.

Re: Do this in your head
You can just add the 1000's together and then add the smaller numbers together. it makes it a ton easier. I got 5000 first also ::embarassed::
