because of the thousands and the sequence they are in the brain adds the tens as 100's instead on 10's its an optical thing tod woith the way your brain percieves what it sees

I got 2100, and still got the same when I used a calculator.
Take 1000 = -1000 and add 40. = -960 Now add another 1000. = 40 Now add 30. =70 Add another 1000. =1070 Now add 20. =1090 Now add another 1000. =2090 Now add 10. =2100 Have I gone wrong somewhere? |

Briggie you would make a great Chancellor, the government have been doing this for years, it's just that we have let them get away with it. Well I got 4100,  You can fool some of the people all of the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time. You can't fool all of the people all of the time. Maybe the Goverment are challenging the last statement...... They call it Tax. I know a few that are fooled all of the time.
