I get 5000, but suspect for some reason if I used a calculator it would be 4100

The numbers 10,20,30,40 add up to 100 ,Not 1,000 therefore equalling 4,100 not 5000.

Which by now every one has Sussed out!

Just as I used to get marked down in Maths exams for not reading the questIon!!

Try this. Add up all the numbers except the final 10. I bet you get 4090 (well at least you should unless you're blonde, or female maybe.) Then add 10 to 4090 and voila 4100. Simples.

?+?+?+?+ = What?

warwickstag profile image
warwickstag in reply toKingoftheCocktails

1000+40=1040

1040+1000=2040

2040+30=2070

2070+1000=3070

3070+20=3090

3090+1000=4090

then 4090+10=4100.
