    Simple Addition ...

    Hide this AdReport bad ads?
    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 !

    Re: Simple Addition ...

    salam,

    did you get 5000 when you first tried it?

    I think I'm going to keep count.

    Re: Simple Addition ...

    salam,

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

    Do we wink or act playfully with the opposite gender in in real life interaction? No (I hope). So behave modestly towards the opposite gender in your posts as well.

    salam,

    the answer is actually 4100  -  not 5000.

    you can verify this using a calculator.

    Re: Simple Addition ...



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

    "It will be said to the pious believers in Islamic Monotheism: 'Oh you, the one in complete rest and satisfaction! Come back to your Lord well rested and well pleased!

    Enter you among my honored servants!

    And enter you my paradise!
