[KingoftheCocktails in reply to pearlsmith]

You are never alone with Healthunlockders

[Myma]

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!!

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to Myma]

The truth as you say is in the reading Myma

[Puffthemagicdragon]

Doh !

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to Puffthemagicdragon]

Simple when you know why

[warwickstag]

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.

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to warwickstag]

?+?+?+?+ = What?

[warwickstag in reply to KingoftheCocktails]

1000+40=1040

1040+1000=2040

2040+30=2070

2070+1000=3070

3070+20=3090

3090+1000=4090

then 4090+10=4100.

[KingoftheCocktails in reply to warwickstag]

Oh dear.To be done in your head only !!!!!!! Never mind it is 4100

[Daxiemad]

4100 first time, and I was rubbish at maths in school

[KingoftheCocktails]
