Math is one of those subjects in school you're either good at or you're not good at. I was the latter. I'm more right brained, and left brained people are better with math than we right-brained types.

This problem doesn't seem too difficult at a glance, but can you solve it in less than 30 seconds? Don't reach for a calculator, I think you can do it without! Give it a try!

Take 1,000 and add 40 to it.

Add another 1,000.

Now add 30, then another 1,000.

Now add 20 and then another 1,000.

Now add 10.

Find the total.
