TRY THIS
Note: This must be done in your head only.
Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
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?
The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator!
This is really frustrating to get wrong. I still cant figure out how I got it wrong.

agh!
Theres no need to fear, the Actuary/ Math nerd is here. Not to brag but I got the answer on the first try and faster than Ashlyn did. When I saw the 5000 I thought, did I miss a number somewhere. When I saw I had not I was thinking you can't do math. Ashlyn had to tell me the real answer was below. I like this. Keep it comming.
I'm an idiot. I got the 5000. Of course when I used a calculator I realized where I went wrong. Very good one.
