Did you get 5000? Wrong, it's 4100, put it in your calculator if you don't believe lol.

I got 5000 when I tried the test, I fail so hard, lol.
 
How could you possibly get 5000?
 
o.o I got 4000 not 5000 or 4100... lol
 
More quizzes! I like these lol.
 
Because of adding together so many 1000's people forget that all the smaller numbers only add up to 100 yet think they add up to 1000 therefore making the total 5000. It was on a show called Brainiac here in England about a year or so back. I got 5000 first time, it didnt get me this time though.
 
God dammit I failed this one too. I used to consider myself good at math too >.>
 
wooT 4100! I got it =D
 
its prolly a trick of the brain, the brain see's 40 and thinks 400 or some shit,

i also got 5000 but im also retarded in math and doing math in my head
 
I guess it is feasible, but my brain has always been really good with numbers so no issues at all.
 
I got it right, I don't know how someone could make a mistake like that.
 
5000 as well...

But then again I'm not very good at math, apitude tests always tell me I have medium to high talent for everything else except math
 
I got it right, I don't know how someone could make a mistake like that.

I noticed that as I did this math in my head I was grouping the numbers.

For example:
1000 + 20 = 1020

In my mind, it would read ten twenty. I would imagine the mistake in carrying that last addition makes you want to bump up the first group a whole increment, because of the pattern in doing so throughout the problem.

My guess, its just a trick of patterns and organized thinking.
 
I suck at math, that's why I counted 4060 lolz
