THIS MUST BE DONE IN YOUR HEAD ONLY.

[daftgrandad]

Answer is 4100

[AlwaysConfused]

4,100 ! Second try I (think) I got there!

[Traci66]

2100 or 5000, depends if you take away 1000 at the beginning.

[wendilla]

The correct answer is 4100

If you do it in your head you get 5000 but do it by calculator or paper you get 4100

[TheOtherHalf]

how can there be 2 answers ??

[wendilla]

Now I bet there is a lot of adding up at the moment.

[AlwaysConfused]

When I tried the second time, I added all the small numbers (in my head) first, and then added the thousands
