lol you can trick that by just adding the 1000's in your head then going back and doing the double digit numbers

real answer is 4100

haha yeah Im a retard. after I realized that, I went back and saw that the reason you get 5000 when you dont use a calc is that you subconsciously shift the numbers to be next to eachother, moving them out of the 10's collumn and into the 100's column

OK im gonna try to explain it.

there are 4 1000s that you add up for a total of 4000

there are 40 30 20 10 that you add up for 100

1000(4)+(40+30+20+10)=4100.

When you do it in you head some people will carry the 1 from the 100 into the thousands place and not into the 100th place like where it belgons. thus that is why most people are getting 5000 not 4100.
