Read this out loud:
This is this cat
This is is cat
This is how cat
This is to cat
This is keep cat
This is an cat
This is idiot cat
This is busy cat
This is for cat
This is forty cat
This is seconds cat
Now go back and read the THIRD word only, in each line from the
start.
Took me 50 seconds!!

Try this one
start with 1000 add 40 now add 1000 add 30 now add another 1000 add 20 and a final 1000 and add 10.
If you got 5000 you are wrong

5100 - and that took LONGER than 50 secs. :)
It is a good one to trick people with as the brain automatically add up teh smaller numbers not to 100 but to 1000 = try it in a group most people will say 5000 and since i was on teh thread earlier today about 2 nurses checking meds this is one of the best arguments for checking calculaations I know. It is not that we aer less than human in erring it is that we ARE human.

It is 4100.
The trick is that your head adds up those numbers that add to 100, but makes it 1,000, because that's what you see repeatedly.
Reason #298 to double check your dosage calculations with a calculator.
Hahaha, jokes on me, when calculator used is 4100!!!
