as-salamu'alaikum,
this is a simple addition test I'd like you to try please, without using a calculator, working from top to bottom without skipping any steps:
- First, add 40 to 1000
- Now add 1000
- Then add 30
- Add 1000 again
- Now add 20
- Add 1000 once more
- Lastly, Add 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.. did you get 5000 ?
If so, you're wrong (most people seem to get it wrong with 5000),
- please check with a calculator !

salam,
the point is that most people arrive at 5000, although the true answer is very different, despite the test involving only simple addition.

When I first saw this around a year ago I got 5,000. Then I saw the silly mistake :)
