Frank Lamb Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD and NOT using paper and a pen. Try it! 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? If you came up with 5000 join the group,most of us did. Now do it with a calculator and get the correct number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
