Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it as quickly as you dare.



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? If so, post your name in shame !!!

The correct answer is actually 4100.



If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator!

Just hope this wasn't a villa owner quoting their rates !!
