Ok, everybody, try this.
Add the following numbers in your head (do not use a pencil) as quickly as you feel comfortable.
1000
40
1000
30
1000
20
1000
10
_____
What is your answer?
If it is 5,000, count again. Don’t use a pencil. Just simple add them in your head.
What is your answer?
It is still not 5,000. Try again.
The correct answer is 4,100.

My brain must work in a way that’s good for things like this. I got it right because when I was looking at it, I added up all the thousands, then the tens. I think they call that compartmentalizing.
yeah…i compartmentalized too…it must be a college thing….
hope all is going well!
