Okay, I'll show you a series of numbers. Add them up, one after the other. But do it in your head, not on paper or with a calculator. Add the numbers as you scroll down, and try not to dawdle. Saying the answers out loud may also help :P Lets see if your mind is tricked as easily as mine was. (sorry for the vertical stretch mods, but it's necessary.)

Is your answer 5000, or 4100? If it's 5000, you're wrong :evil: The correct answer is in fact, 4100, but most people end up thinking that the answer is 5000. It's a strange thing, and I forgot why it happened, but hey, there you go.

Oh! I think I just figured out why we get 5000 instead of 4100.

With all the >>>> making all the numbers seperated, and the thousands in odd places, when we reach 100, instead of counting it as 100, we make it a thousand in our heads. Or something.

4100. I paid extra care not to make any mistakes, expecting a trick of some sort. ;)

Oh nooow I see it....
When we reach 4,090, and it says add 10 more, somehow we get to 5000...

I can't belive I fell for that.
