text: if you take 1000, add 40, add 1000, add 30, add 1000, add 20,add 1000, and finally add 10, what num?   why is it that when someone is asked this question, they get confused? most people come out with different answers everytime, some get the same. i got 4100 on a regular computer caculator adding all of the numbers together. the question is, was this meant to trick? do you want us to add all of them together? what to do is the question!!
