MrMongoose Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Oh sorry... I thought I'd be wrong as usually these things have a trick to them. Was I meant to forget to carry one of the digits over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Albers Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have a friend who drives tractor locally. He and I used to tear the place up when we happended to meet at the Cafe for lunch. He actually taught John Wayne to ride horses, and said, yep, he was just like that, he did not talk much. Over lunch I described severe stuttering as a youth. He said, yep, NOW YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN WHEN TO NOT TALK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severian Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I am not sure I get this. Why would we get 5000? I didn't get 6000 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Albers Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 It is possible to mistake the carrying of the "1" over to the "thousands" place. Mr.Mongoose thanks for your dramatic blackout. Items like this are not intended for people experienced in developing their inner mental blackboard. As for them, repeat after me, three times, "One smart fellow, he felt smart!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Albers Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for your honesty, kiddietyte. There was a good reason I thought this would catch some people, though I'm not telling what it was. [bIG TEETH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taq_is_hot Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 LOL I tried this in a brain teaser book once! It's really weird! I won't give anything away, but I was shocked at how I was thinking when I did the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
