maballack: Look back again to all the lines even when another was used again....there was ADD preceding it

I would have agreed with you if the another carried the same value as the prvious then you shld repeat the same action

bt since it was a dffrnt value ...there should be an ADD to the clause

haibe: Note: This riddle must be
done IN
YOUR HEAD ONLY and NOT
using
paper and a pen.
Try it.

Take 1000 and add 40 to it.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 30.
then another 1000.
Now add 20.
Now add another 1000.
Now add 10.
And then add 1000

What is the total?

Pls don't modify your post, its just for fun, lol.

suco_50: This is way too simple, the answer I got straight up within seconds at only one attempt is 5100. Seeing this on front page, I got nervous thinking it's some stuff which gon get me puzzled but I was in fact disappointed after checking the thread. Mind you, the guy who won the World Memory Challenge 2013 played with 4,200+ numbers, so this is just a child's play when considering such.

Question:
This riddle must be done IN YOUR HEAD and NOT
using paper and pen or a calculator. Try it!
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000
to it.
Now add 30. And another 1000.
Now add 20. Now add another 1000. Now add 10.
What is the total?

Answer:
Did you get 5000? Way to go. Most of us did, but
that’s wrong. The answer is 4100. Believe it: use a
calculator.

tayooluwole: Well, to ma understanding, d 'take' in d questn can be interpreted to be 'takeaway'......figures in d questn does nt carry any sign of money e.g #, $...... Logicaly, its imppossible to say 'take' dis figure(handlin it to someone) bt possible to say 'take' dis money. So, if d figures in d questn carries a sign of money, we can then say, d first 1000 was handed to a person afterwhich d various additn..by this analogy, we will endup gettin 5100. However, d figures in d questn re ordinary figures nt representin a physical money, so, in otherwise, its nt possible handlin an invisible figure afterwhich d various additn will be effeted... I therefore say, since d numbers in d questn re just ordinary figure dat does nt represent summfin physical, d 'take' can be assumed to be 'takeaway'....If dis is d case, d correct answer will be 3100.....

maballack: The issue is not with the Take but with the "Another 1000" standing alone with out an action word as ADD as was in every other line even when another was used again

Bros u r so wrong,i'v checkd d site,d questns r diff,ds 1 had an extra 1000 dan d 1 in d site

Na wa ooo. I cant beliv dis...and u call urself a computer scientist?u should be arrested for this mathematical blunder. integers are subsets of real nos. There are +ve and -ve integers. Only natural nos(+ve integers) starts from zero to infinity.Besides who taught u dat u cant add integers and real nos. Infact only some prog languages require parsing before u can operate nos of different types.

aah, Accountant Tayo Oluwole, I catch you today ! So you too are here, abeg no confuse us with the same confusion you accountants in UCH Accounts Department usually use to under pay workers. We thank God for IPPIS

fox5: This question is a typical example of hw der could be errors eye-brain coordination.. Tk a mirage 4 example, u c it, ur brain tells u it's der, bt wen u get close enof, u find out it's jst an optical illusion.. Somtyms, 2 answer tricky questions lyk dis, u nid a 3rd party, the mouth. This can b answered easily by paraphrasing, thus, the eye sees, the mouth says then the brain processes wat the mouth says... If u do dat, u'll find out d answer's 4100.. Hop dis helps
