Take 1000 and add 40 to it.= 1040

Now add another 1000.=2040

Now add 30.=2070

then Another 1000.=3070

Now add 20.=3090

Now add another 1000.=4090

Now add 10.=4100

And then add 1000=5100

Simple as XYZ..... gringringringringrin

lol funny guy, take 1000 and add 40 to it? This is what is giving you problem? lol

If you did use your head to answer the question and not calculator, you would notice its tricky, most people tend to add 400 to 1000 instead of 40 and so they get 1400 instead of 1040. So that's one part of the trickiness.

Re: Maths Riddle by haibe(m): 8:14am On Dec 18, 2013
going by your logic, if take 1000 means take away, my question is where are you taking it from? Also since an initial figure can always be assumed.

This is a Trick question, if you look hard
enough. The answer of your question is 4100.
When you calculate it in your head, or use a
calculator, You get 4100. Look closely. The
answer is not 5000.
There are 4 1000's. However, 30 + 20 + 40 + 10
≠ 1000. Your answer is 4100.

If you looked carefully you would notice there are 5 1000's.

Am a smart dude too, I reframed the question adding the last 1000 which was not in those ones flying around facebook
