Ally 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I'm really not mathematically-inclined, but I can't see how anyone can get this one wrong! 1040, 2040, 2070, etc. Plus 1000 = 3070 Plus 20 = 3090 Plus 1000 = 4090 Plus 10 = 5000! If you do it in 'sweeps', then its 4000 + 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Ah bollocks, seems in my mind 40 + 30 + 20 + 10 = 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it in 'sweeps', then its 4000 + 100 It's embarassing enough getting wrong when you do it in your head, but to type it out and not be able to see it quite frankly frightening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Actually the hair thing is very prejudiced and I promised Scott I would stop banging on about it. Maybe it should be decided by who has attained the greater seniority in your profession? Scott is in charge of a small team (team leader) and insists on being referred to as 'Red Leader' like an X-Wing Fighter pilot. Maverick, actually. 4100 both times an'all. Laz is a simpleton. I like the way he thought it was a genuine mathematical mystery though, and sought confirmation of this from others. Its not a maths problem as such, more the way your brain processes the numbers - which no ones explained yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44242 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well the explanation is that your brain thinks that 4,090 plus 10 is 5,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
